I was born in Illinois, grew up in South Dakota, movedto Missouri and then settled in California in 1977. I raised three children in San Jose, and moved to Auburn five years ago. I especially love being a grandmother, and am happy I get to spend lots of time with my grandson.

I received my B.A. and M.A. degrees at San Jose State University. In addition to my part time job at Clear Creek Elementary School, I also work part time as the teacher /speech therapist for PPPIP (Parent Participation Preschool Intervention Program) in Auburn. This is a new assignment for me and I find it very challenging.

My husband, Wayne, and I love living in Auburn and I am very happy to be working at Clear Creek School.
