 Coach
I graduated from Madera High School in 1997 (Central Valley) and then moved to Los Angeles to attend California State University, Los Angeles where I earned BA in Liberal Studies plus a credential in K-8 with a Minor in English. I received my MA in Education from Point Loma Nazarene University.
Other than teaching, I love volleyball and was fortunate to attend college on a volleyball scholarship, playing at the collegiate level for 4 years. Competitions took me to places like Alaska and Hawaii. I currently coach for FORZA West Volleyball Club based out of the City of Pasadena.
