I have been a Coordinator of Preschool GLAD(R) at the Orange County Department of Education since 2006.  Prior to that I was a teacher and administrator in the Buena Park School District. My passion is teaching young children and developing language. I believe in the power of teachers to make a difference in their classrooms and in the lives of children. In addition to teaching, I love books and reading. I experiment with cooking and I want to know more about gardening.
