I  started at McKinley when I attended kindergarten as a 5 year old.  I returned to Redlands Unified as a kindergarten teacher in 1983 and been at McKinley since 2002.  I have an M.A. in psychology and have worked with emotionally disturbed preschoolers for several years.  I love working with young chlldren. Their enthusiasm and curiosity are infectious.  As a life long Redlander it is great to be a part of this wonderful community and a truly outstanding school, McKinley Elementary.
