About Me

'We don't see the world as it is, we see it as we are' - Anais Nin

I am a 4th generation Bay Area native, currently living in Santa Cruz. I have been teaching since 2001, and have been full-time at De Anza since 2005. I lived for 12 years in Taos, New Mexico, and 1 year in France, and I still enjoy speaking French and Spanish. I love the De Anza students, and I want my classes to give students opportunities to know themselves more deeply, to learn in ways that are meaningful to them, and to discover and respect what they already know. 

In addition to teaching Humanities, I am currently also the Faculty Director of the California History Center, where my office is now located: deanza.edu/califhistory/  

"As soon as you trust yourself, you will know how to live." -Goethe
