I graduated from Holy Angels School in 1993; I then attended Archbishop Riordan High School and graduated in 1997. I went on to study at San Francisco State University where I earned a Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Studies, a multiple subject teaching credential and a Masters of Art degree in Educational Administration. I have been blessed to be teaching here at Holy Angels School since 1998. I am married and blessed with two wonderful daughters; one of them is currently attending Holy Angels School. In my free time, I enjoy playing sports, going to sporting events, traveling, laughing and watching scary/thrilling movies. I love eating hotdogs from Costco and anything I can put lots of cheese on. At the end of the day, I am truly thankful to be part of our Holy Angels School Family! This is truly "home!" #HA4Life #TrulyBlessed
