Work History - I have taught in Adventist schools in Southern California for nine years and in Northern California for 24 years (eight of those years as a principal in a small school). I have also taught one year in the public school system. I enjoyed being a student missionary in Ecuador as a teacher of English, Music, and P.E.  
Pass time activities - In my free time I enjoy hanging out with family, hiking, cooking, landscaping, and doing art of all kinds. 
Philosophy - I am passionate about teaching young people and sharing the love of Jesus with them. I believe school should help students discover their path in life through connecting with Jesus, exploring their talents, and using them to reach out to others.

I’ve lived in this area for 23 years. I have taught at El Dorado Adventist School over 20 years. I have taught kindergarten, first, second, fourth, and fifth grades. I earned my teaching credential at Pacific Union College with my Bachelor of Science Degree being in multiple subjects. In my classroom I enjoy teaching hands on science and social studies and using the outdoors and God’s creation as part of my textbook. Teaching students to love service also helps them learn responsibility and care for their fellow man.

I was born and raised in southern California and earned my Bachelor of Arts degree from California State University, Long Beach. After moving to this area it was my privilege to attend Pacific Union College where I earned my California State Teaching Credential and my Adventist Elementary Education Credential. El Dorado Adventist School has been my home for over 20 years. During my tenure here I have taught kindergarten, second, third, and fourth grades. I enjoy teaching the students about our local and California history. I love to get the children into the out of doors to experience the nature God has provided for them.  God has a plan for each one of us, and it is my desire that my students begin to explore the path that God has for them while in my class.
