Biography:

I was born and raised in a family of 6 children and 2 wonderful parents in Utah. I have always LOVED school. Learning is my favorite thing to do. My favorite subjects to learn as a child and to teach are: reading, math, science, and music. I attended college in Utah, married, taught a few years in Utah, and then moved to California when my husband finished his degree in Tax Accounting. I now have 6 amazing children (3 boys and 3 girls). The oldest son, Cameron (14) is in 9^th grade.    Mallory (12) is in 7^th grade, Gavin (8) is in 3^rd, Justin (6) is in Kindergarten, Megan (2), and Madilyn (brand new) are home with me most of the time.   If I could choose how to spend each day, I would do any and/or all of the following with my family: sing, read, go to Disneyland, travel to famous historical sites and National Parks, swim, play outside, and visit grandparents and cousins in other states. Wherever I go, I like to learn new things, and find great music to listen to and to sing.

Class Expectations:

1. B the Best U Can B
