I started my teaching journey as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Tanzania. I'm now happy to be teaching life and physical sciences here at MHS. I particularly enjoy educating students in the areas of genetics, thermodynamics, and anthropogenic climate change.

For 27 years, I’ve been on an incredible teaching journey, starting with seven years at Taft Union High School. Destiny took me to Italy and Peru for three enriching years abroad. Returning to California, I’ve spent the last two decades at Manteca High School, where every day has been a rewarding adventure.
