I have been teaching in the San Marcos Unified School District since 1997. During this time, I have taught 2nd grade, 3rd grade, 4th grade, and 5th grade. I love integrating science, social studies and technology into the core curriculum of language arts and math. I currently serve as the lead technology teacher at San Elijo Elementary, helping other teachers incorporate technology in their classrooms.
My husband, Kyle, is a helicopter pilot who loves working with computers and playing drums. He's been working in avionics technology for several years but was previously working for Channel 10 News piloting the Sky10 helicopter.
My son, Justin, graduated in 2012 from Cal State Northridge with a degree in Music Business. He attended San Marcos schools including Alvin Dunn, Discovery, San Marcos Middle and San Marcos High School. Justin and his wife, Melissa, live in Culver City. He currently works for ViaCom in North Hollywood as Director of Talent Operations for AwesomenessTV. His wife, Melissa, is a Clinical Therapist.
My other son, Christopher, attended Discovery, San Elijo Middle and graduated from San Marcos High School. He graduated from Palomar College in 2014 and Cal State San Bernardino in 2017 with a Bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice. He currently works for Sony Interactive and loves it.
Recently, I have been working on getting in shape and making my health a priority (hint: don't wait till you're 60.) I feel tons better and have more energy which is very helpful in this line of work. My dog, Elsie, and I love go hiking and paddleboarding lately.
