I started with the Etiwanda School District in 2002 opening Grapeland Elementary. I then opened Perdew Elementary in 2007. I also taught 6th grade at Day Creek Intermediate, and was a part of the ASC program (previously EASE) for 3 years. I have a Master’s in Teaching and have previous experience with middle school as an EL support teacher, as a homeschool parent, and as a homeschool and classroom teacher.
