Hobbies

I love being a teacher and especially love the personal attention I can provide with one-on-one tutoring. I also enjoy the outdoors (hiking & camping) as well as reading. My favorite books are Crime and Punishment, Frankenstein, Doctor Zhivago, Great Expectations, Lolita, and Tender Is the Night. Having recently moved to the area, I am excited to be starting a new position as an English teacher at Mercy High School Burlingame this fall. I live in San Mateo with my husband, and we are expecting our first child in January.
