I have taught physical education in the Rialto Unified School District since 1997. The first 7 years I taught at Frisbie Middle School and was part of the team that opened Carter High School. I have had the pleasure of coaching girls and boys cross country, tennis, volleyball, track, the SRLA marathon team and am currently the girls cross country assistant coach. Through both physical education and athletics I have watched the young people in our community grow in to remarkable individuals. I am also the proud mother of three Carter graduates, two of whom currently attend Cal State San Bernardino. I have been married to the "other" coach Hardesty since 1996.
