This is my twelfth year teaching in LASD, and my first year as a Gardner Grizzly. I was born and raised in the Bay Area, and earned my bachelor’s degree and teaching credential from Sonoma State University. In 2018, I became a National Board Certified Teacher. I’m excited to return to teaching third grade this year! Third grade was my favorite year as a student, and I look forward to crafting a memorable year for our class.

When I’m not teaching, I enjoy hiking, going to the beach, reading, and crafting. I also enjoy rooting for the Giants and Warriors. And, of course, I spend lots of time with my golden retriever, Bennett!
