Education: I am a National Board Certified Teacher with a teaching credential from Chapman University, CA. I joined the Air Force when I was 18, earned my Bachelor's Degree and later completed a Master's degree in Business Management. I worked as a computer analyst and designer followed by several years as an accountant. It is helpful to bring real life experiences into the classroom. I have 19 years teaching experience and I have been teaching 8th grade math and 9th grade Algebra Honors since 2004.
Family : We now have an empty nest as the youngest of four moved to California. One son completed college on a baseball scholarship so I share how important their grades are even if they think they will play pro some day. Most scouts said it is easier to help a player become a better athlete than it is to make an athlete a better student. I learned a lot about what students need to be prepared for high school and college from my children's experiences.
Hometown: I'm originally from Two Rivers, Wisconsin so of course I'm a Packer fan. We lived many places with the military, but chose to retire in Florida because my parents retired here and the weather is great.
Hobbies: I served 26 years as a Supply Officer in the Naval Reserve which resulted in my love to travel. I also enjoy playing tennis, kayaking, reading, and spending time with family and friends.
