AP Brush Up Dates Position Held: As the Learning Director, I serve various functions. My job entails academic advisement for 11th-12th graders; maintaining and advertising scholarships; facilitating college, career, and FAFSA parent nights; writing the PAWS newsletter; supervising; facilitating student meetings; conducting teacher observations and evaluations; organizing the senior trip; conducting college application workshops and assessments; organizing Academics Alive!; and various other duties as assigned. Education History: As a graduate of Hughson High School, I started my college career at CSU Stanislaus and transferred to the University of the Pacific where I earned a bachelor’s degree in English and a single subject teaching credential. After graduating from UOP, I worked as an English, ELD, and AVID teacher at Escalon High School from 2002-2014. I obtained a master’s degree in education administration from Grand Canyon University in 2010 and my administrative credential from CSU Stanislaus in 2013. Hobbies: In my spare time, I have coached cheerleading and choreographed routines. I love spending time with my family and watching my daughters participate in softball, dance, gymnastics, and cheerleading. Inspiration for Her Career: While I loved teaching, my inspiration to move into administration was to make a greater impact on the entire student population. Curriculum and instruction is definitely my passion. I enjoy working with teachers to improve teaching and learning by implementing effective instructional strategies. On the last day of April, students taking AP courses will begin brushing up for their upcoming AP examinations. Students taking AP exams are charged $91 per test. If students pass the AP tests, many universities take this AP credit and assign college credit.

The AP Brush Up sessions will be facilitated by the AP teachers and will be held on the following dates in the following locations: April 30: AP Environmental Science (Career Center) AP Calculus (Reeder Hall) AP U.S. History (Library) May 1: AP Spanish (Career Center) AP Art History (Reeder Hall) May 6: AP Biology (Career Center) AP English (Reeder Hall) Actual AP testing will be held from May 4th-13.
