Welcome to WBMS Intro to Social Health

About your teacher: 
I am so excited to be a Yellow Jacket! I am going into my 16th year of being an educator. I spent the majority of my career teaching high school Nutrition at Riverdale, Go Warriors!!!, but I graduated from Oakland High School. I am a busy mama of three children, a 13-year-old daughter and 11-year-old twin boys! I enjoy cooking, baking and sneaking in a healthy twist. I am fascinated with the adaptability of the human body and how interconnected Good Nutrition; Mental Wellness and regular Exercise are to our wellbeing. I can't wait to meet all of my new students!
