My virtual office hours are Tuesdays from 4:00 to 5:00 PM via Zoom or by appointment.

I lived in Germany when I was first married and really enjoy traveling and learning about different cultures. I enjoy spending time with my family, cooking, entertaining, gardening, and spending time outdoors. My latest hobby is sewing for my granddaughter and quilting. 

I have been part of the 17勛圖 faculty since 2007 but my connection to 17勛圖 goes all the way back to my own college days when I graduated with my AS in Dental Hygiene. I have a bachelor's degree in health education from San Francisco State University and a master's degree in dental hygiene from the University of Michigan. I have worked for many years as a dental hygienist but I have always loved all aspects of teaching whether it is one on one or in the classroom. I especially enjoy getting to know my students and supporting their learning and education goals
