I have traveled many roads to get to where I am today. I have been a shoe salesperson, a waitress, a member of the United States Navy, a wife, a mother and now a teacher!  I feel that all of my experiences make me the person that I am today.   

I grew up in New Jersey.  After high school, I decided to join the Navy.  This was probably the best decision I have ever made; I excelled in the Navy. I was very proud to have served my country during Desert Storm.  I received numerous awards while in the service.  I was stationed in the Bay Area during the big earthquake of 1989.  This is also where I met my husband Larry.

Larry and I married and had two great children.  Megan is 8 years old and in third grade.  She is such a beautiful and loving girl.  She plays basketball and loves to read.  Devin is 5 years old and ready to start kindergarten this year.  He is so full of energy and a riot!  He loves to play with his Matchbox cars.  I love spending time with my kids.  We are looking forward to a fun summer!

I am so happy to be graduating and doing what I have always dreamed of doing.  I love being a part of the learning process.  Children can teach us so much.  If I can help one child realize how special they are, then I am doing pretty well. 

Thanks for taking the time to read about me.
