Summary

Worked in education for 8 years in a variety of classrooms. In March of 1997, after the birth of my son, I stayed at home full-time raising my family of three children for the next 15 years. Since working in Education I have continued to work with children. I volunteered in my children’s Poway Unified schools. I was a classroom volunteer from 2002-2015. I worked with both the PTA and foundations at my children’s schools. I had leadership roles on the Sundance Foundation Auction Committee and a board position on the Sundance PTA. I was a Girl Scout leader from 2010-2022.
