Biography:

I was born in Alhambra, CA and raised in West Covina.  I have a younger brother and sister.  I have lived in Glendora for 27 years.

I have been married a long time to a wonderful man.  My husband is a chemist.  We met at Cal Poly.  I have two children: a son who lives in Arizona and a daughter who lives in Altadena, CA. Both of my children graduated from college. My son graduated from Arizona State University, and my daughter graduated from the University of Denver.

 

I have three cats. My husband is always bringing home kittens. I love dogs too, but my last dog past away several years ago.

 

I belong to a book review group, and we read and discuss a book once a month. I’m also a member of a women’s bridge group, and we play bridge once a month.  On Friday nights, we often go to the movies and have dinner with good friends.

 

I enjoy traveling. I especially like to cruise. I’ve been on six cruises: once to Alaska, three times to the Caribbean, and twice to Mexico. One of my favorite vacation spots is Hawaii.  During the school, it is fun to get away over the weekend to visit friends in San Diego, Santa Barbara, and San Francisco.

 

I like to garden. My backyard has many flowers. It seems that I am always planting, trimming, or weeding. Given the choice between an inside chore and an outside chore, I always choose the outside job.

 

I don’t spend a lot of time in the kitchen. My husband and I usually eat dinner at a restaurant. The joke in my family is that my favorite thing to make for dinner is “reservations”. Our favorite place to eat is the Cheesecake Factory.

 

Class Expectations:

I want the students in my class to love learning. I want them to be excited to come to school. I want them to feel confident and to never be afraid to ask questions.

 

I expect them to become better readers and writers, and to make great strides in math. I hope they find science fascinating and the social studies interesting.

 

Contact Preference:

I prefer to be contacted by telephone. My home number is 626-963-1733.
