I moved to the Tahoe area when I was five years old. I attended Kings Beach Elementary, Tahoe Lake Elementary, Truckee Elementary, Sierra Mountain Middle School, and Truckee High School. During high school, I was a foreign exchange student to New Zealand for one year. After I graduated from Truckee High School, I attended the University of California, Santa Cruz where I majored in biology. Upon graduating with a Bachelor's Degree in Biology, I moved to Los Angeles to earn my teaching credential through the Los Angeles Unified School District. I taught 7th grade life science in East Los Angeles for four years until my son was born. At that time, my husband and I decided to move back to Truckee to raise our family. I began teaching 8th grade physical science at Sierra Mountain Middle School in the fall of 2000. I was excited when Alder Creek Middle School was opened in 2004,and I have enjoyed teaching at this school. I live in Glenshire with my husband.
