I grew up in Andover, England, where I graduated with a Bachelor of Education Honors degree, qualifying me to teach in elementary schools. I taught for 15 years in many different settings, both large and very small schools, before relocating with my husband and two daughters to Marin County, CA. Having taken a 5 year hiatus, to settle my family, I am excited to be returning to the profession I know and love. Completing my teaching credentials at the Dominican University of California, has been an enriching experience, as the curriculum is different and there are many new innovative methods of teaching to emerge since I qualified in 1995. I hope to apply my wealth of experience, both as an experienced teacher and as a parent in the local schools of Marin.
