Born and raised in California, with a heart for adventure and a mind for our future. I have been a Stay-at-Home mother for 18 years to two amazing sets of twins, aged 19 and 9. My older children experienced the majority of their education through Oak Park and Conejo Valley Unified School Districts, finally transferring over to River Oaks in their upper-class years. My daughter graduated at age 16 and my son was part of the SpEd IEP program. My youngest children are currently enrolled at River Oaks, about to finish their fourth year.
I have always had a passion for education and self-improvement. Having worked full- time while attending night school and being an active member of the Coast Guard
Reserves in my 20's, I believe in action to follow your goals. With a military career and a Network Engineering degree in hand, life had chosen another path for me. My son was born with Down Syndrome. I saw it as a new and exciting, unknown and challenging, opportunity to explore and concur.
Fast forward to the pandemic and yet another curve ball. I embraced the shutdown with excitement for change and an opportunity to, once again, learn and concur. Homeschool. From a life of experiences, I have to say, joining the River Oaks Academy has been my most rewarding and favorite. Spending my days watching my kids learn new concepts or tasks, being able to teach them with a spark of interest and fun, to see them be excited, day after day to start something new or finish their current lesson, having complete strangers on our travels ask about their education and compliment them for "their age", is something that I am honored to be a part of.
Through this journey I have learned, lived, and am continuously reminded that each human and every path is different. They are unique. Our children are unique. Each one of them, and River Oaks gives us an honored opportunity to share in this adventure. To help continue to support and create a safe and special experience for each child and family.
I am grateful to be considered to be an even bigger part of the River Oaks Family.
