–Why are you an educator?

I am an educator because I like to work with children and I love a challenge. No two days are the same, just as no two children are alike. I continue to be excited when a child breaks the code and becomes a reader or gets the concept and unravels the mystery in math .

–What do you enjoy most about your career?

I enjoy working with people, both children and adults. Teaching has many challenges that keep me motivated.

–Years spend in the profession/district?

I have been a teacher for more than 15 years, and with Vacaville Unified most of that time.

–What do you do in your spare/free time?

My favorite free time activities are bicycling, hiking, gardening, and quilting.

–What does being a member of the Vacaville Teachers Association mean to you?

The most important part of being a member of the VTA is being a part of a team that looks out for my working conditions, salary, and benefits. VTA gives individual teachers a voice.

March 14 is the one-month anniversary of the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. The 17 minute walkout will honor the 17 lives taken in the tragedy and has been organized by the Women’s March.

For legal reasons, we do not organize for “walk outs,” but supports the rights of students, educators, parents and others to advocate for an end to gun violence in our schools.

There were some great rallies at Will C Wood!
