I am a mom and teacher living in Glendora with my husband, two sons, and one cat. I've lived in three countries, four US States, and more cities than both of those numbers combined. My husband and I chose Glendora when we moved from Houston, Texas, ten years ago. This is the longest I have lived consecutively anywhere in my life. 

I am an enthusiastic participant in our community, a former GUSD teacher, and a passionate advocate for all students. I have a Bachelor's Degree in English Teaching with double minors in Speech Communications Education and British & Commonwealth Literature. I have taught English, ELD, Debate, Intervention, and Study Skills courses at all levels of secondary education and at community colleges between California and Texas since 2011. I've also had the privilege of working in some capacity at each school site in Glendora USD over the years. I know Glendora USD to be a special place from the inside and out.

I currently teach English and lead the English Language Development Program at Duarte High School.  I also do volunteer service in the Glendora Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints community, have worked with their youth and the Relief Society organizations in the past, and I currently teach adult Sunday School in the Citrus Ward. 

I like to borrow a favorite phrase from the Lone Star State, "I wasn't born in Glendora, but I got here as soon as I could.”  I am excited to build on our GUSD legacy of excellence and start a new chapter with the Glendora Board of Education and all of you.
