    I have lived in Walnut Creek for many years, and as my children began their school years at Murwood Elementary School my dream of teaching began.  I decided to go back to school to get a teaching credential, and the same year my daughter went off to college, I was fortunate to begin my teaching career in first grade here at Buena Vista.

    This is my 13th year teaching at Buena Vista, and I am happy to say "there is no place I would rather be!"  I love the excitement and energy for learning that the staff, parents, and children  share.  I adore the magic that is first grade.....the "aha moments" that happen every day.  I have learned that each class has its own personality, and by the end of the year, I realize that I have learned as much from the amazing little people in my class as they have learned from me!
