How do you describe your job to people outside SCOE?
We provide training and workshops for Frontline EPR to all of our districts, charters, and SCOE in Finance and Payroll. We work closely with the Business Services External and Fiscal teams in providing assistance with federal and state compliance and reporting requirements.
Where did you grow up?
I was born and raised in Sonoma County, grew up in Windsor, and went to Healdsburg High School.
Who was your favorite childhood teacher and why?
Laura Locicero, PE teacher at Windsor Middle School. She was also my coach for basketball and volleyball, so we spent a lot of time and years together. She followed us to Healdsburg High School as our freshman basketball coach. She showed how much she loved her job as a teacher and being connected to us kids.
What is your favorite thing about SCOE?
I love working with my Escape team, IT team, and extended teams. We laugh every day and work well together. I love the opportunity to help people find the information they need, solve problems, and learn new things. Whether it's answering a complex question, assisting with a project, or just providing a bit of inspiration, being able to make a positive impact is incredibly rewarding. Additionally, the constant learning and engagement with diverse topics keeps my work interesting and fulfilling.
What is one of your most memorable moments as a SCOE employee?
Every Halloween when our IT department goes all out with our costumes and theme. Makes it a fun place to work.
Outside of work, what is your favorite hobby or way to unwind?
My favorite thing to do is to spend time with my family, especially since my kiddos have moved to the Shasta area and Wasilla, Alaska. We had our first granddaughter born in April so we spend our time traveling back and forth visiting them. I like being outdoors and on the lake. I have spent many days at Lake Sonoma, camping, boating, and jet skiing over the years.
Do you have a favorite TV show, movie or book that involves a school setting?
I grew up watching “Little House on the Prairie” with Laura Ingalls Wilder becoming a teacher.
What is your favorite place in Sonoma County?
There are so many favorite places in Sonoma County, definitely worth having a regional parks pass. I would say Doran Beach is one of my favorites because we are so close and can go for the day or a quick evening drive. We have camped there many times. We are spoiled to live in such a beautiful area.
What might people be surprised to learn about you?
I fainted on my first day of work at Petaluma City Schools District Office while meeting my boss for the first time. Needless to say, I made a big impression! Turns out I needed a pacemaker at the age of 20. All was good after that and I worked at PCS for 18+ years.
