Instructor:
Gold Rush Country School Coordinator/Teacher
About Me
I have been a Gold Rush instructor
since 2001, when my now 14-year-old twins were second and
third graders. I have taught for 29 years, including a
summer in Switzerland, a year in Morocco, and more recently,
a one-year stint living with my husband and twins in
Istanbul, Turkey. I am now the farm and garden coordinator
at the Gold Rush Country School. I'm looking forward to
continuing garden projects such as drip irrigation and farm
projects such as wool carding and spinning with
wool from our new sheep.
I bring a wealth of experience including five years of directing and teaching outdoor education on a sheep farm and garden program for University of Berkeley Extension on a 530-acre ranch in Half Moon Bay, California. In addition, I have taught at a Montessori Farm School teaching children and working with horses on the California coast side. I hold a B.A. degree from University California Santa Cruz in environmental studies/natural history, a California teaching credential, and a master's degree in English which has allowed me to be an adjunct employee of English at Columbia Junior College for the past 15 years. I now live with my family and various animals in Columbia.
