Professional Biography:

 I believe that every student deserves a chance to be supported and challenged to reach their full potential.  My first "real job" was at a fast food restaurant in Long Beach, California, where a highlight was serving food to the Australian Olympic water polo team!  While in college, I worked full time as an environmental chemist for labs in Garden Grove and Pasadena, CA.  Some of the fun samples I got to test were cheese powder from the "blue box" mac'n'cheese and water from the Pirates ride at a theme park.  I am honored to serve as head teacher at our school again this year.
