I have had the pleasure of making teaching my career over the past 15 years. I truly love it more today than I did the day I started. My family moved to Idaho 8 years ago from California. I taught 5th grade in California at a low socio economic ELL school for 5 years after a short stint in 3rd grade. I moved to middle school when we came to Idaho and began teaching 6th grade Language Arts. I spent 4 years in 6th grade before moving to 7th grade where I taught primarily English. I now teach 8th grade Language Arts. I also teach two Honors English classes, produce the school newspaper in an 8th grade Publications elective, and am the yearbook adviser.

I am a 21st century teacher. I believe in teaching through example and experience. I do not use textbooks. I utilize the technology we are so fortunate to be able to use in our classrooms today. I believe that project based learning is the most effective method for most middle school students.

Yet to be added

I am graduate of The University of Denver. I have my BA in Communications with a minor in Sociology. I received my teaching credential from National University in San Jose, California.

I am a teacher, a wife, and a mother. All roles I am blessed to have, and put 100% into. I am a very fortunate and talented at all three.
