I was born and raised in Tracy by great parents Harold and Cathie Reich. They taught me the importance of education at an early age and I always knew I wanted to be a teacher. I married my high school sweetheart Brent Riddle and we now have 5 children and both enjoy living and working in Tracy.
My credentials...
I graduated from Merrill F West High School in Tracy in 1997. I then studied and played softball at Willamette University in Salem, Oregon for three years until I returned home in 2000 to get married. I finished my bachelors degree in Psychology, with an emphasis in early learning and development, at the University of the Pacific in Stockton, Ca in 2001. I was hired by TUSD in 2001, first grade at Jacobson School. During that time I attended the University of Phoenix in Lathrop, receiving my clear California Teaching Credential. After 4 years at Jacobson, I took a job at George Kelly for it's inaugural year. I then resigned to stay home and raise my 3 young children. For the next 8 years I substituted for TUSD and I did a Home and Hospital job for Jefferson Unified. For the 2013-2014 school year, I did the long term maternity leaves in 7th grade core for Mrs. Vierra and Mrs. Gallegos. I was then rehired by TUSD in June of 2014 to teach in the 7th grade core open position.
