I moved here a few of years ago from Laguna Beach, California with my husband, two boys (22 and 24) and goofy little dog-Turk. While I am new to the area, I did work (for one year) as a Fourth Grade teacher at Meadowland Elementary back in 1997. Fun fact: I have lived in VA 4 different times and in 4 different locations and have loved every spot, Virginia has always felt like "home" to me.
My husband, Jeb, is an 8th grade Social Sciences teacher here at Trailside Middle School.I have a BS from the University of California, Irvine in Psychology and Social Behaviors with an emphasis in Child Development. My post graduate certificate is from Concordia College, also in Irvine. I have taught Kindergarten, First, Second, Fourth, Fifth and Sixth grade. I have also had the pleasure of working in Special Education and with newcomers and multilingual learners. While middle school is still a little new to me, I am very excited to be at Trailside working with the English Learners Team.I enjoy all things outdoors. My family and I enjoy camping, hiking and spending quality time together. I am an avid reader and especially love historical fiction novels. I love to cook, bake and create! I live and appreciate life to the fullest with lots of creativity sprinkled in!
