For over ten years I’ve been teaching in many different capacities, and I am thrilled that my next adventure has brought me here to JCSMO. I graduated from The Master’s College where I received my teaching credential in Elementary Education with an emphasis in Social Studies. Upon graduation, I moved overseas where I taught third through fifth grade at an international school. It was there that I also met my husband and had my first child. My family returned to California where I taught art part-time at various schools and community centers throughout San Diego.

​In 2017 my family was able to return to the same international school where we met and continued working there until 2022. During this time I began teaching the TK age group and I am looking forward to continuing in this role. Helping facilitate the transition of students from home to school with the goal of fostering a joy of learning, cooperation, and independence are key elements that I seek to instill in students. I am looking forward to a wonderful year ahead!
