I was born in Encino, California, and I have lived my entire life in the San Fernando Valley. I graduated from Taft High School and C.S.U.N. I am happily married and have two children. My son is Joshua and my daughter is Brianna. My husband, Brian, is a chiropractor.

I have been teaching at Dearborn since 1982, where I have taught grades 3, 4, and 5. At other schools, I have also taught Kindergarten and 1st. I love my Dearborn “family” and consider it an honor to be working with such wonderful students, parents, and staff.
