I have been teaching for 20 years this year.

I met my husband when he was in an Elvis Presley contest in 1984.

I already finished my Christmas shopping. I love Christmas!

I have an interesting/unique attachment to the number 4.

I went scuba diving in the Great Barrier Reef

I drove a motorcycle to Alaska once.

I had a tortoise and hedgehog for class pets for my first year of teaching.

I spent ages 1-10 living half in Birmingham, Alabama, and half in Italy.

I had pet sheep.

I own a 1958 Vw ragtop beetle. I have owned it since 1985. Someday I hope to fully restore it.

I excavated Etruscan tombs in Italy.

Tahoe is one of my favorite places to visit. I have been there every summer since I was 5 years old...that's a lot of summers =)

I can write with both hands!

I got a plane ticket to Spain for my 30th birthday and I traveled to Sevilla for what was only supposed to be a day, but ended up staying for a month.

I love to do room makeovers

I studied Indian classical dance for 6 years.

When I first start teaching, I rode a motorcycle to school.

I live in a geodesic dome overlooking the bay!

This summer I’ve been working on getting certification for Microsoft Word and Excel. I will be able to take the exams once sites are open for testing.

I used to like exciting activities. I like to jump off boats in the middle of the sea to check out the fish and corals. I also went jumping off cliffs for paragliding a few times when I was in Abha, Saudi Arabia.

I attended K-12th grades in WCCUSD and roller skated with friends at Tara Hills Elementary while growing up a few blocks over!

I celebrated my 17th wedding anniversary and bought a new car this summer.
