Welcome to 3^rd Grade with Mrs. Liess! I am proud to call myself a third-generation Redlands native. I attended Smiley Elementary, Cope Junior High School, and RHS. I graduated from the University of Redlands with a degree in Business/Marketing. After eleven years in the banking industry, I decided it was time for a change and went back to school. I received my teaching credential from the University of Redlands and began teaching in 1999. This year I begin my 22nd year at Mariposa. I am happily married with two awesome grown kids. I have a son who resides in Boise, Idaho, and a daughter in Redlands. Besides my family, my three favorite things are watching college football, gardening, especially flowers, and traveling on road trips.

I am very excited about the upcoming 2022-2023 school year. We will have many wonderful experiences and opportunities to learn and grow.
