BIO
I was born and raised in San Diego; One of my dreams was to be a high school teacher. I graduated from San Diego State University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in English and dramatic arts, and I then lived in New Zealand for 2 years and had my first baby there. I have 4 adult children and 5 grandkids who all live in San Diego. I taught American Literature in China for two years. I love nature, the arts, mostly music and dance, and hiking. I write music and lately have been doing line dancing for fun. I love being active. I enjoy experiencing other cultures and have traveled to 28 countries.
EXPERIENCE
In San Diego, I was a substitute teacher off and on for 4 years. There, I taught English, AVID, dance, and drama in a private high school for 5 years. I taught 11th grade American Literature in China for 2 years. In 2015, I taught 11th grade English at Shasta High School in Redding, CA before working at New Tech. I have been teaching at New Tech for 6 years, mostly team teaching with Mr. David Petersen. I also teach drama.
