I have 32 years experience with public and private elementary classroom instruction. I have a California Multiple Subject Teaching credential and am National Board Certified. I speak intermediate Spanish. I have 3 grown children, husband and a dog. I acquired a lot of children's book over years of teaching. I love to introduce them to small reading groups and hear children giggle! My favorite things to do in my free time is hike, bike ride, travel to see new places, and my new hobby Pickleball!
