I completed a B.M. in bassoon performance, then went on to get a M.Ed. in secondary education special emphasis in Biology. Now I am teaching at Fremont Academy of Engineering and Design, and back with CSF as the adviser and also adviser for CJSF as we have grades 7-12 on our campus.
After college at San Diego State, I started my teaching career at the very young age of 22. I was hired by the Sweetwater School District and started teaching English and history at Chula Vista Junior High. Having CSF life member on my application was a positive factor in securing my job.
We moved north to Sonora in 1978, and I spent the rest of my career in a small K-8 school. I loved my 33 years in education,and when I meet my “old” students now in medical careers, teachers, engineers, and even major league baseball I am very proud!
Since high school I received a degree in business administration and I now work for the nation’s second largest rental equipment company. For a while I was working in the accounting department but wanted a new challenge and recently made the jump over to customer service rep. I love my job.
I am happily married and just gave birth to our first son.
