confidence to make healthy lifelong decisions.
My Mission

and grow academically, physically, and socio-emotionally.
My Goals
Institute high quality instructional practices
Establish programs to support learning, equity, social-emotional
growth, and safety
Provide a safe campus with clear schoolwide expectations that are
supported by all staff members
Hold common and high expectations for learning and behavior
Fun Facts
I was born in Fort Belvoir, Virginia and raised by a single father who
was a 30 year veteran who served in the WWII, Vietnam, and Korean
Wars.
I was raised in the farmland of Central California from the age of 8
years old.
I have three amazing adult children.
I am married into a Portuguese family and al of my children learned
Portuguese and I learned it too so I understood the culture.
My in-laws lived with me for 20 years and spoke very little English,
and I wouldn't trade if for the world even through tough times.
I am a true nerd at heart. I love all things about computers and
learning. I was originally a computer science major but chose a
career in teaching because I have a passion for learning an I love to
see students grow into themselves.
