I received my credential in August of 1998, and began teaching that year in the Twin Rivers USD.  I taught there for 8 years.  For the past 5 years, I have been teaching in the Sacramento City USD.  I am really excited to be part of the SMART Riders team!

I just got a Vespa scooter for my birthday, and hope to be riding it to Pony Express soon.  I enjoy traveling, reading, sewing costumes, trips to the beach and spending time with my family.  Sacramento has been my home for the past 27 years.
