Hi All! I was born and raised in San Diego where I earned a bachelor’s degree in Liberal Studies, with minors in Nonprofit Management & Social Enterprise and Theatre Arts & Performance Studies from the University of San Diego. After graduating, I worked for the Walt Disney Company in various roles including customer service, communications, and public relations. During the pandemic, I left Los Angeles and returned back home to sunny San Diego, where I worked for Petco as a Communications Specialist, until I returned to the classroom for the Chula Vista Elementary School District, Urban Discovery Academy, and High Tech Elementary Chula Vista! I consider myself quite the bookworm, so please let me know what you’re currently reading! In my free time, you will find my husband and I enjoying the sunshine at the Zoo, visiting museums, hammock-ing at the park, or at the movies! Most recently, I earned my Masters degree in Education with a focus in Teaching and Learning. I am thrilled be on our 4th grade team again!
