This is my 22nd year teaching at Ponderosa High School and I am excited for the 2019-2020 school year. I have two children, one that attends Camerado Springs Middle School and one who will be a freshmen at Ponderosa. I will be teaching both US and World History this year.
I grew up in Half Moon bay and both of my parents were teachers. I have always wanted to be a teacher and I studied history at UC Santa Cruz and Exeter University in England. I received my teaching credential from Sacramento State University. In the past, I have also taught and/or coached Cross Country and Track at Kennedy High School, Del Campo High School and Ponderosa High School.
We are continuing an exciting phase of curriculum development which will continue to focus on writing skills and document analysis. In addition, my students can expect a dynamic and fun learning environment. I believe that students learn best by immersing themselves in history through debate, interactive learning and group work. My goal is to have students enjoy history and learn from the past so they can understand the present and prepare for the future.
