Hello and THANK YOU for visiting!

I am thrilled to be in my 11th year teaching Culinary Arts & Hospitality Management at Roseville High School. After three years at Granite Bay and Del Oro High Schools, I had the opportunity to 'come home' to our neighborhood where I've enjoyed teaching in our fabulous commercial-style kitchen ever since.  My husband, Doug, joined the Tiger Team as a math teacher and wrestling coach a six years ago and it's almost as if fate has brought us full circle. After falling in love 35+ years ago in our So. Cal high school, we are passionate about helping students explore opportunities during this critically important chapter in their life. 

Together, we made a 'midlife change' and decided to leave the business world to become teachers when our three sons were teenagers.  All three took full advantage of RHS's diverse academic, CTE, ROP and athletic opportunities and were uniquely prepared for tackling life after high school, I believe. Raising our family in this community (volunteering in schools, sports, church), working in marketing, management and the hospitality industry have uniquely prepared me for this challenging and important work. 

With an 'empty nest' since 2015, my husband and I have additional time and energy for helping our community's young people build confidence and relationships, discover their interests and passions, and begin to prepare their next steps after high school.  It is truly rewarding for me to watch my students explore, grow and experience new challenges in a state-of-the-art, industry-designed workplace environment where they develop transferrable skills along with knowledge of food, nutrition, cuisines, and techniques.  

I truly enjoy sharing my passion for food and teaching high schoolers, so contact me with questions, ideas or a request a tour of our facility anytime!  aash@rjuhsd.us
