I grew up in Glendora, California and I am the youngest of 6 children.I attended Cal Poly Pomona where I received my BA in Liberal Studies and my California Teaching Credential. I started teaching in Duarte Unified School District in 1999.  During my 19 years at Royal Oaks Elementary I have taught Kindergarten, First grade, and Second Grade.I married my husband Mike in 1995 and we have two boys, Travis, who is a sophomore at Cal Poly Pomona, and Nate, who is a junior in high school. My boys were very active in playing travel ball and we enjoy watching sports together. I am looking forward to a great 2nd grade year!
