I attended Valley Christian HS. While in high school, I played Volleyball, Basketball, Soccer, and ran Track. I competed in the long jump, 100m hurdles, 300m hurdles, 100m, 4×100 relay, and the 4×400 relay. Advanced to CIF all 4 years in high school and the last 3 years advanced to the finals,masters and state in the 100m hurdles,300m hurdles and 4x100relay. Set the CIF record for those 3 years for the 300m hurdles and 4x100relay for div 6 HS. I also hold the 300m hurdles record for my high school and was honored in 2016 with a banner in the gym. I went on to compete at CSULB for 2 years in the 100m hurdles,300m hurdles and the 3rd leg in the 4×100 relay. I received my bachelors degree in Nursing. During this time I went back to my high school to start the women’s soccer team and coach track and field. I worked with the sprinters and hurdlers and long jumpers. I coached track there for 15 years and in 2002, I took a break to enjoy watching my kids participate in high school sports. I also have been working in the PYLUSD for the last 15 years as a special Ed aide with middle schoolers and YLMS and now high schoolers here at YLHS.
