I have been teaching for 15 years and I was lucky enough to start my teaching career here at Vieja Valley. I am a native of Santa Barbara. I enjoy spending time playing golf, taking photographs, reading, spending time with friends and watching movies. I love to take care of animals and the environment. My favorite subject to teach is writing. I like teaching it because children can express themselves in so many different ways. I hope that children will want to learn because it is fun, and then continue to learn throughout their lives.

I find it very convenient to communicate with parents through email, so parents, please feel free to send me a note and I'll respond as soon as I'm able.
