I am an athlete and a teacher.  I am an avid runner, skier, and cyclist. I compete and run in many races every year, from Half Marathons to Ultra Marathons all over the USA. I love to run and work out daily and I also love to volunteer and work with children. 

I have a BS in Mathematics from UCLA. 

I began working at Meadows in 1999 and became the PE Specialist in 2004. I have been a primary PE Specialist for the past 13 years in the Conejo Valley Unified School District. I am a trained Sparks Star PE Teacher with many additional Sport and PE certifications. 

I teach PE with active participation and positive reinforcement. 

My goal for the Mates PE program is to have healthy and active students who are engaged in Sports and movement and are having fun learning and being active. For the 5th grade students, I will have them prepared and confident for the middle school program. 

Mates is my home school. My daughter attended Meadows, and I have a wonderful attachment to this school and the devoted staff and amazing students who go and have gone here. 

I am very happy to be back at Mates as the PE Specialist.
