This will be my 15th year teaching at Standley. The last six years I taught eighth grade English. Previously, I taught seventh grade English for one year and sixth grade English for seven years. I have also been the ESL (English as a second language) teacher for three years. Before coming to Standley, I taught ESL at Crawford High School and 9th and 10th grade English at Westview and Poway High Schools. I worked for two years in Japan as an assistant language teacher in the Japanese public school system.
I am originally from New York. I went to Lehman College. I have been married for twenty years and have two children. I enjoy reading, fishing, camping, and spending time with my family and friends.
