I am excited to be a part of the 8th grade team here at Soaring Heights. I grew up in San Diego, California and earned my Bachelors in Environmental Science at Cal Poly SLO. I then went on to earn a second Bachelors degree in English Literature at Cal State San Marcos as well as my CA teaching credential in Secondary Language Arts. I taught high school English for 4 years before staying home to raise my children. My husband Anthony and I have been married since 2001, and we have four great kids: Dominic, Michaelis, Gianna and Jude. In my free time I love to bake, cook, garden, read, and travel with my family.
