I grew up in Benicia, California which is located in the Bay Area.  I attended Chico State and received my Bachelors in Liberal Arts with a minor in Child Development.  I also received my multiple subject credential at Chico State.  I moved back to the bay area to teach 1st-4th grade in Benicia and Healdsburg since I graduated.  My husband, kids and I moved back to Chico in 2015 and found our forever home.  I enjoy outdoor sports/activities such as wakeboarding, snowboarding, riding my bicycle, and playing with our dog or taking her on walks.
