EDUCATIONAL and PERSONAL BACKGROUND:
I earned a BA at the University of California, Irvine in Social Ecology in 1976. In 1977, I earned a multiple subject teaching credential from the Graduate School of Education at UCI, and taught 4th and 5th grade in the Irvine Unified School District. In 1980, I began teaching 6th grade at Cucamonga Jr. High School in Rancho Cucamonga. After working as the assistant director of the Reading Game in Rancho Bernardo, I began teaching in the Poway Unified School District in Sept. of 1983. I taught 2nd, 3rd, and 5th grade at Garden Road Elementary School until 1992. I joined the charter staff of Mesa Verde Middle School as a 6th grade teacher. I earned a MS in Educational Technology in 1997. My project was on web page design.
During my years at Mesa Verde and Garden Road, I have served as: Technology Mentor Teacher, 6th grade team leader, member of School Site Council, National Science Foundation Grant Member, master teacher, peer coach, GATE coordinator, SIP reviewer, Key Planner, PTSA Teacher Representative, PUSD Science Standards Committee member, Science Fair Coordinator, and as a member of many committees.
I am blessed with a wonderful family. My husband, Barry, and I were married on Dec. 13, 1975. We have two bright and beautiful children. My daughter, Heather, recently graduated from Cal.State Chico with a degree in computer art. She is working in web page design. She spent this summer packpacking through Europe. In this photo she is rafting in the Alps!
My son, Jon, just graduated from Poway High School. He's going to college locally, is attending ROTC, and is also interested in a career using computers.
My parents and brother and sister-in-law both live in the area as well, and we enjoy seeing them often.
I enjoy traveling, entertaining, reading with a book club, kayaking, and kick-boxing. We have lived in Poway for many years, and a "cottage" in Malibu.
