Hello!  This is my 12th year as a teacher and my 12th year teaching at Lopez.  I grew up in southern California and a very small town in northern Minnesota.  I attended St. Olaf College and Grand Canyon University.  I have lived down the street since 2000.  I have a daughter who is a senior at Reagan and a son who is attends UT Austin.  I used to walk them in strollers past the cedar brush where Lopez now is never realizing this field some day would be my second home!
