I am originally from Michigan, and completed my undergraduate degree at the University of Michigan in English Literature and Spanish, and also earned teaching credentials in the areas of English and Spanish. After a two year stint living in Tucson, Arizona, I moved to San Diego in 1999 and continued my education to earn my Master’s Degree in Special Education. I have taught English and Spanish throughout my career and really enjoy supporting diverse learners. I have been a teacher for 28 years and I am excited to join the team at High Tech High! In my free time I enjoy spending time with my family, visiting the beaches, mountains and trails of San Diego, swimming, and thrifting for vintage clothing and home decor.
