My educational background is a B.A. in Economics from the University of California , Berkeley . I have lived in the Bay Area for 23 years now and love its’ diversity. I am a wife and mom with two kids, one 8 and the other 14. I have had the opportunity to run an after school program and summer program for 5 years in Berkeley and Kensington. Because of this, I have a strong desire to see children succeed and for them to learn to use their strengths. I currently work as a pastry chef. My goal is to use art and cooking to teach math skills and work on fine motor skills. My hobbies are hiking and biking and, of course, cooking.
