I’m a proud Chula Vista native with a love for history and education. I earned my Bachelor’s degree in History and a minor in Ethnic Studies from UC San Diego in 2022. After graduating, I jumped right into the classroom as a middle school Instructional Assistant, where I found my passion for working with 8th graders. I received my teaching credentials in Social Science and English from San Diego State University, where I’m also working toward a Master of Arts in Teaching Secondary Education. I’m especially passionate about U.S. History and I can’t wait to bring that enthusiasm to my 8th grade students. In my free time, you’ll probably find me at the rock-climbing gym, trying out new coffee shops around San Diego, or hunting for my next favorite BAGGU or Owala.
