The 2011/2012 year will be my fifteenth year as a teacher at OLM. I have taught 3rd-8th grade, which has given me a good perspective on curriculum and child development. I have a teaching credential from Chapman College, and an administrative credential from St. Mary's College in Moraga. I have ba's in business administration and accounting. I was an accountant for fifteen years prior to teaching. Before that I taught dance (ballet, modern, jazz, tap) for seven years, and I was in a dance company for three years.
