Special Educator at Capuchino High School since 1995.  I live in Pacifica with my husband, two daughters (13 and 21) dog, and cat.  I love to bike, hike, and swim for exercise.  In my free time I enjoy reading, cooking, gardening, and traveling.  I travel to Minnesota twice a year to visit my 47 immediate family members.   I have lived in the Bay Area for all my life, except for three years when my family  relocated to Germany.
