I am excited to be YOUR 1st grade teacher!  I love teaching young minds and watching them grow into great students.  I received my Bachelor's at Fresno State and Master's at University of Phoenix.  I have been in education for 20 years as a parent helper, teacher's aide and substitute teacher.  I have worked in a variety of settings as well as different learning levels.  My hobbies include reading, gardening, and raising my daughters.  I love the beach and spend most vacations in Monterey area with my daughters and dogs.
