I was born on August 18th in Santa Monica, CA. My childhood was spent growing up in lovely Palos Verdes and amazing Manhattan Beach. As a young lady I was very busy doing dance, gymnastics, and cheerleading. I graduated from Bishop Montgomery High School in Torrance, CA. (Go Knights!)

After graduating high school I was off to University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB). (Go Gauchos!) I proudly joined Kappa Alpha Theta and loved my years there. During my time as an undergrad I was able to spend a quarter as an intern in Washington, D.C. for an international event planning company. I also spent a summer studying abroad at Cambridge University in Cambridge, England. Wow did I LOVE it there! Finally my college career came to an end and I graduated with a BA in Business Economics.

After graduating from UCSB I went back to England and spent one year working at Cambridge University in England as a teaching assistant and a student liaison to American and Japanese exchange students.

Upon returning to the U.S. I spent one year as a Therapeutic Behavioral Specialist to Juvenile Wards of the Court. Needless to say, everyday was completely different from the previous.

After a few years out of college I decided to go back to school and earned my Masters of Education and Professional Clear Teaching Credential from Pepperdine University.

This year will be my fifth year at Richmond Street and my fourth year team teaching with Mrs. Saxonberg.

When I am not at school, you might find me:
- Shopping with my Yorkshire Terrier "Kozmo"
- Spending time with my parents and their Akita "Taisho"
- Going to the gym (I love pilates!)
- Playing beach flag football or beach volleyball
- Cheering for the Trojans Football team
- Cooking (or pretending I know how)
