In oneself lies the whole world and if you know how to look and learn, then the door is there and the key is in your hand. Nobody on earth can give you either the key or the door to open, except yourself.

Hello and welcome! As an arts educator and artist, I am dedicated to empowering students through meaningful learning experiences. I believe in a hands-on approach in and out of the classroom and I work diligently so that our students connect through the creative process. This will be my 14th year teaching for CUSD and my 10th year at Sage Creek-- and I LOVE it!
When I am not at school, I spend time with my four sweet kids, husband Sam and our dog Champ at the beach or on an adventure.
