About Me
I've been in the Pacifica School District for sixteen years. This is my eighth year at Vallemar Elementary and I feel extremely fortunate to be here. I greatly enjoy working with the amazing staff, the lovely students and their supportive families!! I was born and raised here in Pacifica and feel lucky to call this great little town HOME. I received my Bachelor's Degree and Teaching Credential from San Francisco State University and began working in my hometown as soon as I graduated. My husband is also born and raised in Pacifica and we'll be married for 15 years this October. I am a proud mother of two! My daughter Sydney and son Ethan are current students at Vallemar. It is great having them with me here at our wonderful school. When I'm not at work I like to spend time with my husband and children.  I also enjoy going for walks, seeing movies, reading, and chatting with friends over a good cup of coffee!! I am a great fan of weekend getaways and vacationing. Some or the more recent trips I've made have been to Hawaii, Tahoe, and New York. Summer getaways are certainly a great way to gear up for a fabulous new school year!!

Here are my kids!  Sydney and Ethan attend Vallemar with me!  It is pretty neat to carpool each day with these two great kids!!
