Becoming a teacher has been a lifelong passion of mine. I have always created connections with people and continue to foster meaningful relationships in my life. I grew up in Los Gatos, CA with my parents and four younger siblings. I received my B.A. in General Studies with a focus in Human Behavior and Social Understanding from The University of Arizona. I taught preschool for four years before going back to school to receive my Master's Degree in Education and Multiple Subject Credential from Santa Clara University. I enjoy spending time with my friends and family, adventures in the great outdoors, Lake Tahoe, live music shows, and photography. I believe that teaching is my calling, and I feel truly blessed to be on this exciting journey. I am looking forward to making memories together!
