I am so excited to join the Rancho Mirage High School Faculty this year!
I am a graduate of the University of Delaware with a B.S degree in Education. I completed my Master’s Degree in Education at California State University, Los Angeles. I also completed my Administrative Credential at California State University, Los Angeles.
I began my teaching career as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Sierra Leone, West Africa. Upon my return to the United States, I taught special education classes in the Philadelphia School District for five years. After moving to Los Angeles, I taught special education at Barbara Dawson Educational Center, a non-public school, for two years. I left to take a lead role in the opening of Optimist High School, another non-public school, where I became the Vice Principal for six years. After obtaining my Administrative Services Credential, I became Vice Principal at Eucalyptus Elementary School in the Hawthorne Unified School District. I returned to New Jersey to be close to my mother who was ill. While in New Jersey, I served as an Assistant Principal and Principal in the Gloucester Township Public Schools. Upon my return to Los Angeles in 2003, I served as Principal of David Starr Jordan High School in the Los Angeles Unified School District.
I was Principal of the Kayne ERAS Center School Program from July 1, 2004 until June 30, 2006. I later became the Director of School Programs at the Kayne Eras Center from July 1, 2006 until January, 2015.
I have been a Special Education Teacher in the Palm Springs Unified School District since January, 2015.
I look forward to a rewarding experience as part of the instructional team at Rancho Mirage High School.
Go Rattlers!
