     Welcome to AP Environmental Science or Biology of the Living Earth!

    I am so excited to see you taking this course and I look forward to a rewarding, enriching term. 

    I am originally from Fremont, CA where I spent my youth playing outdoors with my neighbors and two younger sisters. After graduating high school, I moved to Santa Barbara, CA to attend University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) for undergraduate studies. I graduated with a B.S. in Biological Sciences and a minor in Science and Mathematics Education. Immediately following my graduation, I pursued a career in teaching by attending UCSB's Gevirtz Graduate School of Education, where I graduated with my teaching credential and M.Ed with an emphasis in teaching. I am so excited to embark upon my seventh year of Science teaching at Vista. I am excited to enjoy another year being a part of the Vista community and serving as a science educator. I enjoy hiking, biking, and paddle boarding with my husband and taking long walks with my dog.
