I am looking forward to an exciting year getting to know your child and feel it is an honor to be your child’s teacher. I have been a teacher for over 28 years, a parent for 22 years, and a parent volunteer in our children’s public school classrooms.  My husband and I have been married for almost 28 years and we have 4 adult children. We have triplets that are 22 (two girls and a boy) and a fourth son that is 18 years old. We live in La Crescenta and all of our kids have attended schools in the GUSD. For enjoyment I like to go on walks with my husband, cook and bake for my family, go out to different local restaurants, watch Hallmark channel movies, sip coffee each morning, read on a quiet Sunday afternoon, ride my stationary bike and spend time hangin' with my family.
 
First grade is an exciting time as children embark upon new adventures in the world of learning. This is a year of important transitions and a year of acquiring new skills in reading, writing, math and so much more. I hope to make your child’s learning experience a fun and exciting one, and I hope to instill a love of learning that will last throughout your child’s years of schooling.
