This year marks my 22nd year of teaching! I graduated from Point Loma Nazarene University and started teaching shortly after graduating. While teaching my first few years I got my MA in Curriculum and Instruction from San Diego State University.
During my time at Joyner, I received National Board Certification in which I learned more than I could have ever imagined. Recently, I went back to school and received my Administrative Credential at PLNU….life-long learning! I have had a range of experiences and loved all of it! I have a great appeal for the challenge of learning and growing each day!

I am a mother of 2 crazy and silly children that I couldn’t be more proud of. I have a 9-year old daughter and a 7-year old son who are also fellow Super Penguins at EBS! These are my people! They add a joy to life that is inexplainable. They keep my husband and I laughing, but and mostly on our toes!
I am fortunate to be married to a wonderful and talented man (he’s a web designer . . . and helped me create this site) who continues to make me a better person, parent and friend while bringing heaps of laughter and spontaneity to our life. We are all very involved in our local church and love spending time with our community.
In the little extra slices of time (the before sunrise rises time) I squeeze in another passion of mine…running! I love to run and seek the thrill of an endurance race! I’ve been running since I was 12 years old and have a unique trust and friendship with this sport! I feel truly blessed to live this life as a teacher, mother, runner, wife and friend!
This year will be your child’s first year in elementary school and I’m elated be a part of it! This is a very special year and will hold many memories for all of us! I’m looking forward to meeting each of you and being a part of this inaugural year in your child’s education!
