Behind the Scenes: A little about ME

My career began at Orangeview JHS in 2001. Over the last 10 years, I have taught both 7th and 8th grade science, Physical Education, and AVID. I have coached volleyball, basketball, soccer, cross country, and track. My interest in technology has prompted me to become an INTEL Master Teacher and advocate the use of technology in classrooms for both teachers and students.

At home, I have a sweet boarder collie named Ladybug and a furry cat named Spice. They keep me busy. My dog often accompanies me on trips to the beach and local mountains. Hopefully, once I obtain my private pilot license, she will learn the love of flying in small planes - I don't know, she doesn't really like driving in the car, she would rather play with her ballLaughing
