Hello, everyone! I am excited to be joining the HTH Mesa team this year as an Education Specialist. Before becoming an Ed. Specialist in 2022 for HTHNC, I grew up in Menifee, Ca and received my bachelors from Point Loma Nazarene University in Sociology and Criminal Justice. I started working as a substitute teacher for the Juvenile Court and Community schools in San Diego, igniting my passion for teaching. I then pursued my teaching credential through SDCOE, and am now a 4th generation teacher. I am also a busy mom with two boys. That being said, my “free time” is limited. When I’m not playing with trains, cleaning up toddler messes or preventing my children from hitting each other with toys, I enjoy hiking, camping, cooking, rollerblading, reading or going to Padres games with my husband.
