As a youngster I
had a strong interest in Science, particularly astronomy. I spent
many nights in the backyard with my telescope, gazing at the
stars - dreaming of what life the universe held. An interest
in Ecology developed as my view of life and the reality of our
world widened. I became firmly committed to the environmental
cause in 1970 on the occasion of the first Earth Day celebration.
I graduated from
La Salle High School in Pasadena in 1977, and went on to study
at the University of California at Santa Barbara. I received
a B.A. in Environmental Biology and Sociology. I earned my Professional
Clear Single Subject Credential with an authorized field of Life
Science at California State University, Los Angeles. I am completing
my Master's Degree in Education with an option in New Media Design
and Production at Cal State LA as well.
I currently teach
Science along with Economics, Psychology, Music, and Physical
Education at Arcadia High School Alternative Program. I have
previous teaching experience in middle school and other alternative
school settings.
As a teacher it
is my goal to help students open their minds to the world of
possibilities that surround them, and to assist their building
of the knowledge needed to explore and participate in the worlds
that open up to them. It is my hope that all students and teachers
of the world can find a way to keep our planet healthy as we
continue to explore the outer reaches of both mind and matter
