I joined the staff of Laurel Hall in 1979. I have been teaching for over 32 years. I have experience in 2nd, 4th and 7th grades with an emphasis in math for 3rd through 5th grades. My BA degree is from California Lutheran University in Thousand Oaks. I have a Multi-Subject Clear Lifetime Credential from the State of California. I love teaching in a Christian environment especially since I also attended Laurel Hall School. Additionally, I have been a member of Emmanuel Lutheran Church since birth. I have been married for 24 years and have three children who also attended Laurel Hall. My youngest is in college and plans to major in education. In my free time I enjoy reading, gardening and spending time with my family and friends.
