I began my teaching career as an elementary school teacher, and I have 20+ years of education experience. I have taught all grades, but my last class was a group of 60 kindergarteners. Talk about controlled chaos! I also taught adult literacy through the Corona Library where I was overjoyed to see my adult students learn to read. Imagine how rewarding that was!

In 2006, I lived in Florence, Italy and when I returned to the US, I decided to take a career turn and enrolled in the radiography program at Chaffey College. I then worked as an x-ray technologist at RUHS Trauma Hospital in Moreno Valley. Eventually, I began working with new radiography students at the clinical site and that’s where my passion emerged. Now, I am thrilled to say, that I am an experienced instructor of radiography. I love to be involved in forwarding my discipline and influencing the next generation of great x-ray technologists!

I also have personal interests, of course. In addition to taking music and art courses at my community college, I am the creator and front woman for an 80’s band called Crazy80sRemoteControl. We play all over the Inland Empire and will soon be at The House of Blues in Anaheim! I also have my own photography business, specializing in pet portraiture.
