I love reading, spending time outdoors, and experiencing life by living in each moment! When I am not at school, I enjoy camping, hiking, and traveling with my family. I have been teaching since 2001. I received my bachelor’s degree from California State University San Bernardino and my master’s degree in middle level education from Walden University. I am certified in elementary education, middle-level ELA, Secondary English, and K-12 Literacy. I hold endorsements in gifted and talented, project-based learning, and teaching children of poverty.
