I was raised in Dinuba, California. I am a product of Dinuba Unified School district. It has been a blessing to give back to the educational community that educated me. I currently work at the same junior high that I attended in 7th and 8th grade. I earned a Bachelor's degree in Communicative Disorders focusing in Deaf Education from CSU Fresno. I have worked as an Education Specialist for 9 years here at Washington Intermediate.
