Hello! I grew up in San Jose and Los Gatos and am a graduate of UC Santa Barbara. I returned home to the Bay Area and attended San Jose State for my teaching credential. I am beginning my 17th year teaching in Union School District, all at Alta Vista. For many years I taught 2nd grade. Then I was a STEAM teacher on special assignment. I also taught 4th grade for one year, part time and stayed home the other days with my children. I am in my third year on the Kindergarten team and am thrilled to be working with this age group and alongside Mrs. Barbara and Mrs. Grist, who are both good friends of mine. 😁
I love, love, love sports. My husband and I met playing coed soccer together. Fast forward to now, we have two sons (6 and 3). In my free time I like to spend time and play with my family, visit friends, travel, read, listen to live music, and play/watch/coach sports.
I'm excited to learn alongside your Kindergartener this year. This age group is just magical to me. Kinder learners are full of genuine curiosity and enthusiastic to learn. It's such an exciting year of amazing learning growth!
Here's a picture of me in Kindergarten! 😂
