About Me
I’ve been a Marston Mariner since 1998 and a middle school teacher since 1989. I grew up in Pacific Beach when it had a mini-golf course, a bowling alley, and a movie theater; in fact my first job besides babysitting was at the Roxy Theatre in P.B.. I have lived in Clairemont for the past 20 years. My son, Spencer, who went to Alcott, Marston, CHS, and is a business major at San Diego State, lives at home with me and our dog, Strider. I have two adult step-daughters and four grandchildren who call me “Jamma.” I like to sew, garden, walk on the beach, and I try to see every movie that gets nominated for an Academy Award. I’m in a “Read Harder Challenge” book club and I am a whiz at Words With Friends, which is an online word game like Scrabble. Otherwise, I work really hard to make each school year as good as it can be. My hope for this year is that we can stay in school all year. I want my students to be prepared for whatever they wish to accomplish in high school and beyond, but mostly I want them to be educated enough to adapt to the changes and challenges that lie ahead.
