About The Teacher

This is my seventh year at Brookside School.  This is my fifth year teaching
third grade and I also taught fourth grade for two years. I taught in Lompoc,
California before I came to Marin.  I grew up in San Rafael and graduated from
the University of California, Santa Barbara. I have a bachelor's degree 
in environmental studies and a minor in English.  I received my teaching 
credential and my Masters in Education there as well. My master's project 
was "Creating a Caring Community", and I plan to apply what I learned from 
that research to this classroom.   My first teaching experience occurred 
when I was a high school junior.  I worked at Audubon Canyon Ranch and 
taught students about the plants and animals that lived there.  I also 
taught language arts and social studies in an academic enrichment program in 
San Rafael called Making Waves, a Summerbridge Program.  I am looking forward
to a wonderful school year!
