1) Why did you become a teacher? After changing my major 3 times at Chico State, a counselor informed me that I was only 2 classes from having a Liberal Studies Degree. The next thing I knew, I was in the credential program and had discovered my dream job. After 31 years, I still can’t imagine doing anything else.

2) What are your hobbies and interests outside of work? I love fabric, planting in my yard, reading, music, pickleball, paddleboarding, 4 wheeling, and the mountains.

3) A fun fact about yourself or unique talent you possess, if any? I LOVE the water! Put me on a boat in the middle of a lake any day!

4) Favorite book, movie, or music (pick only one to share) and why it is your favorite? My favorite movie is Top Gun because “I feel the need for speed!”

5) Favorite part about working at Durham Elementary School? I get to see kids, family and friends every day!
