About The Teacher
This is my 21st year in PYLUSD.  Twelve of those years were at Travis Ranch Middle School where I taught math & science.  Over the past several years I have been one of the districts math coaches and a part-time teacher.  This is my third year at BYMS and I am excited to start another great year!!

I received my Bachelor of Science degree in Geology from CSU Fullerton and have teaching credentials in both math and science.  In addition, I have a Masters of Science degree in Education (emphasis in Special Education) as well as a Master of Arts degree in Educational Leadership.

I really enjoy being able to try new things.  A few years ago, I had the opportunity to travel abroad.  I missed the 2011-2012 school year to teach English in South Korea.  It was a wonderful opportunity to explore a different culture, talk with teachers & students, meet new people, and travel.  

Mission For The Class
Master the curriculum and have fun while doing it!
Encourage students to be respectful and kind.
