About My Classes
I teach Chemistry here at Vista Murrieta High School. Chemistry is a year-long college preparatory course that is lab-based and fulfills both the UC and CSU requirements for a lab-based physical science. It requires memorization, competent math skills, abstract thinking, technical reading ability, good lab skills, and complex problem-solving skills. To be successful in chemistry you must take responsibility for individual learning and maintain a good work ethic.

About Me
Growing up I loved both math and science. I was always fascinated and curious how our world works. I guess I was destined to become a science teacher. After high school, I attended UC Riverside and graduated Summa Cum Laude with degrees in both Biology and Psychology. I then continued my education at UC San Diego to get my California Teaching Credential in Biology, Chemistry, and Psychology, as well as my master's in education. You would think that I had had enough of school, but I was thirsty for more knowledge. Thus, I returned to UC Riverside and earned my master's in science in Biomedical Sciences. While at UCR I conducted research in the digestive system and had the opportunity to TA in Human Anatomy and work with medical school students and cadavers. So much fun! In 2007, I returned to the classroom and have been teaching science to high school students ever since. I have taught Biology, Environmental Science, Chemistry, and Human Anatomy & Physiology. I love what I do and am excited and blessed to be working with young adults on a daily basis. I hope to bring my love of science to my classroom as well.
