About Me:  I have been married to my wonderful husband for 26 years and have two beautiful daughters (who attended Cope) and a goofy labrador retriever.  I enjoy teaching, playing, and watching sports.  My hobbies include camping and hiking with my family, going to the beach and Disneyland, attending sporting events, and reading.  

Experience:  I have been teaching 28 years in the Redlands Unified School District and 23 years at Cope as a Physical Education teacher.  

Philosophy/Goal:  My personal philosophy/goal for the year is for students to gain knowledge and appreciation for life-long health, fitness, wellness, and sports through daily lessons and physical activity practice.
