I am honored to serve as the Assistant Principal for Intervention/Attendance at Rancho Verde High School. This is my 28th year in education and 18th at Val Verde USD. I taught for 10 years in elementary school at Lynwood Unified School District. I taught 2nd and 3rd grade while I was there. I taught Computers, Yearbook, Spanish, and was the ASB Adviser at Vista Verde Middle School for majority of the 10 years that I was there. I also enjoyed coaching soccer, basketball, volleyball, and softball during that time. I also coached boys' soccer at RVHS from 2008-2011. I moved on to Student Services at the district office and served there as an Attendance Specialist for 6 years. I am in my second year as an assistant principal and every day is a new adventure. I enjoy interacting with our Rancho Verde Mustangs and hope to motivate each one of them so they can be successful in life! I have always been a firm believer that education is the great equalizer in life. I believe that “if you take care of your education, your education will take care of you.”
