You're all invited to celebrate my 27th year...of teaching and 22nd year at Moore (the school I transferred to as a student in the 9th grade). I went to RHS and then was off to Austin to attend the University of Texas (Go Horns!). I moved back to California and began teaching at Chula Vista High School. Eventually, I returned to the IE and taught at Park View Middle School in Yucaipa. Luckily, there was an opening at Moore where my best friend, Mrs. Underwood (who I met in the 9th grade!), taught and the rest is history. This year, I teach English 7H and am English department chair. I also coordinate the 8th-grade trip to the East Coast. I love teaching and can't think of a better place to spend my days (except maybe poolside!).

I am married and have a son named Ryder. In my free time, I enjoy going to concerts, reading, scrapbooking, traveling, shopping, and going for walks. I am a lover of animals and have two dogs, Sadie and Billiepiper, and a cat, Penny, but I wish I could rescue a million more!
