I am extremely passionate about teaching and learning and I always seek ways to improve and grow as an educator.

​I earned a Masters in Literacy and Language Arts from Loyola Marymount University and hold a California Multiple Subject Teaching Credential. I grew up in Ocean City, Maryland and before moving to California in 2000, earned a Bachelors in Psychology and Communication Studies from Towson University. I have taught kindergarten, third, and fourth grades, and I am excited to continue teaching first grade this year.
