   I have enjoyed teaching over the past 22 years. I taught both second and
third grades in Alameda before teaching two years of fourth grade at Murray
Elementary in Dublin. This is my 11th year teaching third grade at John Green Elementary and I am thrilled to be here. The students, staff, and community are very positive and progressive.

  My family moved to Dublin 13 years ago from San Francisco.  I was raised in Marin County. My husband teaches English as a Second Language at Wells Middle School. My children both attended Dublin schools. In addition to teaching, I have been a Girl Scout leader for my daughter's troop for the past 9 years. This has given me the opportunity to be even more connected to our Dublin community, which I love.  It has been a gift to be able to teach in the same community where I live.

  My family enjoys traveling. We often spends our summers traveling to the east coast, where my husband is from. We enjoy New York City and the Jersey Shore. We also travel to our family farm in Wales when we can. We spent this summer in Wales, Italy, and the east coast. It was a perfect summer.

 I love teaching third grade. I appreciate that these wonderful children are our future. They each have the potential to make a difference and change the world we live in. It is a gift to be a part of the process. 

 Mission:

  My mission for the class is to take each child further on a lifelong path
of learning. I will provide a classroom environment that is safe, rigorous
and fun. I will work to instill the importance of persistence within each
child. I hope each child will learn responsibility as a student in class but
also as a citizen of our community and the world.
