“The path that led me to education came in a very roundabout way. As a little girl, I knew I wanted to be a teacher but decided to take a completely different route. After many grueling years of studying numbers, codes and formulas, I graduated with my BSEE in Computer Engineering from San Diego State University. For seven years, I programmed hardware and absolutely loved it! After experiencing being a SAHM (code for stay-at-home-mom), and having my own wedding biz, I finally decided that I wanted to pursue what I knew was always in my heart, working with children.

My educational journey started when I had the honor and privilege to become part of Chula Vista’s staff shortly after the school opened in 2011. I completed the HTH Credentialing Program and recently obtained my Masters of Arts in Teacher Leadership. I’ve continued to support our students academically, socially, and behaviorally as well as supporting parents.

When I’m not working, I love spending time with my family of 5, gardening, and managing my small succulent business. I am extremely excited to continue to be part of HTeCV as an Education Specialist and SST Coordinator for the 2023-2024 school year!”
