Rebecca has felt fortunate to call San Diego home for the past 25 years. She holds a Bachelor degree in Political Science and Psychology and a Masters degree in Education. After working with foster youth in the system, she went into teaching feeling it was a better way for her to help. Rebecca loved teaching and coaching on and off before and while raising two daughters with her husband. Nurturing creativity in herself and others is one of her passions, whether it be chairing events for numerous non-profits, bringing art, music and science to schools, coaching for Odyssey of the Mind or just doing a special project. After spending time with multiple non-profits, as well as mentoring homeless and foster youth Rebecca felt helping with education, job placement, and general well-being for the youth at YAC was a perfect fit.
