I was born in Long Beach, California and have lived in California, Utah, and Hawaii before moving to Texas.  I am married and have two sons.  This is my 17th year of teaching and my 6th year at Clark High School. I taught elementary school for three years in Honolulu, Hawaii.  After moving to Texas in 2007, I was hired as an ESL teacher and ESL department chair at Lake Highlands Freshman Center in Richardson ISD.  In 2015, I was hired as an ESL teacher at Clark High School.  Prior to becoming a teacher, I was a business owner.
