I am a Bay Area Native.  I grew up in Benicia and have a Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration from CSU Hayward. I have lived in various communities in the Bay Area including Benicia, Vallejo, Oakland, Hayward, San Leandro and now Castro Valley. I have more than 13 years of driving instruction experience and have a great passion for teaching new drivers.

As a business owner I strive to deliver an exceptional experience for each and every student from their first inquiry, through the entire licensing process. I have used my years of experience to create a detailed, and thorough, step-by-step curriculum.  All of our instructors teach the same fundamental curriculum, using the same verbiage to keep things consistent for our students.  I am incredibly thankful for my amazing team and the job they do.

I am a single mother of a beautiful daughter who loves spending time with family and loved ones.  I enjoy going to various festivals: music, dance, food, art with friends and loved ones. I attended high school in San Leandro and graduated college at San Francisco State achieving my Bachelor of Arts degree in Liberal Studies, emphasis in Creative Arts.

I've lived thru out the Bay Area all my life which includes San Leandro, Oakland, Hayward, Castro Valley, Union City, San Francisco and Berkeley. Overall, I love helping people in general whether it be in my full time job at Children's Hospital Oakland as an administrative assistant or with the students at Go-Green.

I have lived in Oakland my whole life and love the Bay.  I have been happily married for over 6 years.  I am an avid camper and love to fish.  As an Oakland native, I love the A's, Raiders, and Warriors, but I follow all the Bay Area teams.

Before becoming a driving instructor I worked as a professional driver throughout California and most of the West Coast.  Along with my Instructor's License, I also have a Class A license with multiple endorsements.  

I enjoy teaching students to drive, and have lots of great stories to share.

I hope to get to meet you soon!

I am a Bay Area native who grew up in Menlo Park CA, which is now  home to Facebook HQ!

I have two wonderful children who keep me real busy  when not at work. I am a huge family person and BIG fan of the  49ers, Warriors, and Giants!  I love trying out new places to eat or going to the movies.

I am happy to be part  of the Go-Green family and be able to help students learn how to drive,  be safe, and feel confident behind the wheel of a car!

We will make our  time behind that wheel, a fun, and enjoyable learning experience. Look  forward to meeting you and having you be a part of our Go-Green family!

——————————————————

Growing up I have always had a passion for classic cars.  If interested, I drive manual/stick shift and have my motorcycle license if you want any tips on those things as well.

Like many of our students, I was eager to get my permit and license as soon as I was eligible.  And because of my age, I too, was required to enroll in instructed driving lessons.  Unfortunately, I felt let down by the service I received (definitely not a Go-Green Driving School experience).  However, that experience is a primary reason for why I have become an instructor myself.

My goal for every student, whether they’ve dreamt or dreaded getting behind the wheel, is to help each individual improve their ability, grow their confidence, and set the foundations of a lifelong responsible, aware, & decisive driver.

Learning to drive is an amazing milestone, and it is an honor to be invited to take part in this experience with you.  Although these six hours are a required mandate for teen drivers, I hope to make our time together enjoyable, as it should be, and I hope you find the instruction and experience gained worthwhile.

I was born in Oakland, and have lived in the Bay Area my whole life - in Alameda, San Leandro, Fremont, Hayward, and now Castro Valley.  I’ve been driving a school bus for Castro Valley for the last 3 years, and for Fremont 2 years before that.  Prior to driving a school bus, I was a commercial bus trainer for a large East Bay corporate bus company.  My wife and I are involved in the Bay Area car culture, and both volunteer for local race car events, with the goal to keep all drivers as safe as possible.

I have a 15 1/2 year old daughter that I’ve been training to drive, and I am excited to be a part of the Go Green family - they are as dedicated to their clients as I am to my own daughter.  I look forward to helping you and yours become the best and safest driver possible.

Hello!  I’m Robin and am happy to have joined the Go Green team.  I was born and raised in the Bay Area and am also a full-time middle school counselor in the area.  I love my middle school students and am enjoying working in a different capacity helping older students and adults in this role.  I am an aunt of 8 and can still remember the days of helping my now 23 year-old eldest nephew learn how to drive when he was in high school.  The role of driving instructor is near and dear to my heart as my grandfather was one before he became a firefighter after coming home from the Korean War. He always shared great memories with the family from the job. 

I like to have a good time and try new things.  When not working, you can find me being goofy with friends and family or relaxing and enjoying much needed down time.  I love learning about others’ life experiences, perspectives and interests. Looking forward to learning about yours. 

Hi, my name is Melody!

I grew up in Los Angeles, CA and I have lived in the Bay Area for over 10 years. I graduated from San Francisco State University with a degree in Sociology and have had past teaching experience and community care/ doula work. I am a 90s kid at heart, a nurturing Cancer sun sign, and a mother to an amazing 5-year-old named Rhythm. When I’m not teaching students to drive, I enjoy family time, music, movies/shows, cooking, and spending quality time outdoors. I have driven all over the country; enjoying road trips from California to Canada to North Carolina. 

I am thrilled to be part of the Go-Green team and I value the responsibility of sharing knowledge, wisdom and skills to set my students up for success. With the awareness that learning to drive is a big step in a person’s life, I treat each lesson with care, patience, and lots of encouragement. I’m rooting for each of my students and their development towards being a safe and responsible driver.
