Hi! I was born and raised in southeast San Diego. I attended Bates College in Lewiston, Maine, earning a bachelor’s degree in Spanish and Gender and Sexuality Studies. After graduating, I worked as an academic coach at High Tech Middle Mesa. In 2022, I joined the San Diego Teacher Residency program at the High Tech High Graduate School of Education and received my M.Ed in Teaching and learning shortly after. Throughout my schooling, I have had a lot of role models, teachers, and mentors who instilled in me a passion for learning. I enjoy attending Padres baseball games, discovering great coffee shops, exploring museums, and roaming around the San Diego Zoo in my free time.
