Mrs. Wilson graduated from UC Berkeley with a dual major in English/Speech and History. After teaching for eleven years, first at Las Lomas High School in Walnut Creek and then at Castilija School in Palo Alto, she left the classroom to have a family and raise horses. After accumulating too many equines for her Portola Valley property, she brought them to her family citrus ranch in Ojai in 1986. She was subsequently asked to become the OVS Equestrian Director, a position she held for nearly 30 years before returning to the classroom to teach AP English, English 11, Expository Writing and U.S. History. As an equestrian, Mrs. Wilson has been a dressage competitor, trainer, and instructor. She became a well-known and respected member of the equestrian community, serving as professional adviser to the California Dressage Society and on the national board of the United States Dressage Federation. She enjoys time with her family, her animals, all kinds of sports and reading good books.
