I was raised in Burbank, California. I attended San Diego State University – then transferred to Humboldt State University where I earned my BA in English and my English teaching credential. I received my counseling credential from San José State University.
I have worked in the educational field most of my adult life. My first job was helping children of migrant farm labor families. I also worked as a high school counselor and English teacher. When I worked at Hoopa Valley High School in Humboldt County, California I initiated and coordinated the effort to teach the languages of three of our area’s Indian tribes: Karuk, Yurok, and Hoopa. I got these languages accredited with the University of California system. We made the front page of the New York Times. This project was, and still is, a first in California and after 24 years these languages are still taught at Hoopa Valley High School.
