Hi! I’m Ms. Clara. I was born in France and moved to the U.S. at age 5, eventually settling in Los Angeles in 4th grade. I came to San Diego for college in 2015, earning my degree from UC San Diego and later completing my Master’s in Curriculum and Instruction at the University of San Diego in 2022. I’m passionate about creating a classroom where students feel safe, supported, and ready to grow—both academically and emotionally. I focus heavily on social-emotional learning and helping students navigate life’s ups and downs with confidence. Outside of teaching, I love spending time with friends, going to concerts, and traveling—most recently to Africa!
