I graduated from UCSB in 1986 and spent 6 years in hotel sales and marketing.  I received my teaching credential in 1992 and began my teaching career at Vandenberg Middle School (VMS).  I love VMS so much that I am beginning my eightteenth year here.  I have taught mostly eighth grade English, but I also have had the privilege of teaching 8th grade Honors English for 5 years.

      I pursued and obtained my M.A. and administrative credential from Cal Poly in 2005-06.  I began my administrative career as part-time dean and part-time ELD teacher in 2006-07. This is my third year as Assistant Principal at VMS.

     I have been married to my husband, Philip, for 21 years and we have two boys, Philip Jr. and Jeffery.  We live a quiet and happy life in Orcutt.
