This is the start of my 15th year teaching elementary school.  I taught 3rd and 4th grades for 10 years before taking a leave of absence to raise my family. I reentered elementary education in 2014, when I began teaching for the Temecula Valley district at Nicolas Valley Elementary, in TK.  I recently opened up the first TK class at Alamos Elementary for the 2018-2019 school year.  My daughters are Temecula Valley students in 5th and 8th grades.  I'm excited for this new adventure!
