I knew I wanted to be an elementary school teacher when I was in first grade. I fell in love with my teacher, Mrs. Alexander, who always had a cup of coffee in her hand and a hershey kiss in her mouth. You might find similar things happening inside my classroom. I truly loved everything about school and I still do. I am a San Diego native and an SDSU alumni. I have a Master's Degree in Elementary Reading and Literacy.

My passions are reading and literacy. I love watching and supporting the little ones with their reading development. My goal is to develop life-long readers who love to pick up books.   

I am married, I have two children, and one pug named Pepper. You will learn a lot about her this year. My daughter loves art, music, reading, and waterpolo. My son gives me great insight into the world of boys. He loves baseball, swimming, and fast cars (just like his dad). I love to travel with my family and friends, swim, and read.

I am looking forward to working with you and your child this year. I want this year to be a fun, positive experience for your child. Kindergarten is a year of magic and growth. My top priority is for your child to fall in love with school. Together we can make this happen.
