I graduated CSU, Sacramento with a major in Liberal Studies and a BCLAD in Spanish.  This is my 21st year of teaching in the Folsom Cordova Unified School District.  I have had the pleasure of teaching 8 years at Sandra J. Gallardo in Folsom, 10 years at Navigator Elementary School in Rancho Cordova, and this will be my 3rd year at Mangini Elementary School.  I am a product of our district, I went to Cordova Meadows Elementary School, Mills Middle School, and Cordova High School.  I am very proud to be an alumni of Folsom Cordova! 

I have 4 boys (Evan-20, Dylan-17, Jacob 14, Brayden-7) and I'm married to my wonderful husband, Nick.  We love dogs...we have too many, ha ha!  We enjoy the outdoors, boating, camping, motocross, and baseball.  I value family time so creating a balance between school and family is key.
