DRAMA NEWS
Bidwell’s drama class just finished up performing their original or adapted puppet show scripts. It was a great success and the kids had a lot of fun!

Professional Information
My experience with education started 4 years ago when I became a community health educator. There, I had the opportunity to be in classrooms and out in the community teaching individuals of all ages how to be healthy. I fell in love with it and after receiving my teaching credential, I have had the wonderful privilege of teaching at Bidwell, the school that taught me.
Personal Information
I was born and raised in Chico, and after spending some time away for my degree and starting my career in the bay area, Chico was once again calling my name, so here I am. I have a beagle, who my husband and I love to take hiking, backpacking, camping, and running through Bidwell Park.
EMPTY BOWLS TICKETS AVAILABLE NOW!
