Hello!  I grew up on the East Coast and settled in California in 1984.  The culture of the West Coast is so different that I can empathize to some degree with the immigrant experience.  I have four children and 10 grandchildren.  This helps me understand the needs of students who are parents and grandparents. 

Over the years, I sometimes worked as many as four jobs at the same time. Because of this, I appreciate the challenges our working students encounter.

I started in the Chino Valley Unified School District in 1994 as a substitute teacher.  When I substitute taught for Chino Valley Adult School (CVAS) in 1996, I knew this was where I wanted to spend my career.

I taught English as a Second Language (ESL) for 24 years.  In addition to my day job at CVAS, I also worked evenings at Corona-Norco and Chaffey Adult Schools for nine years.  In 2001, I became the ESL Coordinator at CVAS.  I was promoted to Assistant Principal in 2020.

My passion is adult education.  I admire our students who work so hard to achieve their goals. They bring energy and variety to our community.

I look forward to supporting our students to make their time in school meaningful and empowering.
