I was born in Vallejo, California and raised in the Caribbean islands. After finishing my college degree, I went into teaching for 8 years. I have been studying education for many years and will continue to do so.

I've worked with students of all ages. I am very passionate about working with International, ESOL, and Special Education students. I am fluent in Spanish. Throughout the years, I have traveled and visited many countries in Asia, Australia, Europe, North and South America. On the weekends, I am currently learning how to surf, and I am also studying photography.

My biggest interest has been in writing Children's Books and have successfully self-published two of them. I am constantly looking for new ways to express my creativity and stay active. Throughout this journey, I am forever thankful for my husband Joe and my children Joey and Lucy. We really enjoy our time together hiking, camping, taking our dog to the dog park, driving our Jeep to the beach, and watching movies together.
