    I am thrilled to be teaching fourth grade again at Tularcitos, and am incorporating some of what I have learned overseas (in Europe and the Middle East) into our classroom culture. This is my 19th year of teaching. I taught 1st and 4th grade at Spreckels Elementary School, 5th grade in Saudi Arabia, and this is my 12th year at Tularcitos (I took a year off to teach overseas).

    I would like to tell you a little bit about myself:

    I am originally from Vienna, Austria, and moved to the beautiful Central Coast after graduating high school in Austria. After having spent time both on the East and West Coast, I have lived in this area for about 20 years.

    I have two fabulous, wonderful, amazing children: Chelsea is 30, and Kelvin is 27. I also have an adorable grandson named Levi, who is going to be ten years old.

    I look forward to a great fourth-grade year, where we will establish ourselves as mathematicians, readers, writers, scientists, and historians!
