A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ME

I am so proud to be your first grade teacher this year! This is my fourth year teaching at Victor Elementary, and my third year teaching first grade. Here is a little more information about me.

  • I grew up in South Redondo, and even attended Alta Vista for elementary school and Redondo Union for high school.
  • I love all animals, but I love cats! I have 2 cats named Buddy and Hobbs. They are brothers from the same litter that my family adopted from the pound.
  • My 2 brothers and I have all attended UC schools for our undergraduate and graduate school programs.
  • I love to travel and try new things. I recently came back from summer vacation in Austin to visit my best friend and just returned from a month in Maui! I finally got to live out one of my dreams by swimming in the ocean with an Eagle Ray!
  • I graduated with a bachelors degree in Psychology with an emphasis in Early Childhood Education and a minor in English from the University of California, Riverside.
  • I taught for several years for a private Preschool and Kindergarten in South Redondo. This is where I developed my love of working with children and teaching.
  • I taught 1st grade English Language Learners for a year in South Korea.
  • I went to graduate school at the University of California, Irvine and have a masters in Education.

I feel tremendously grateful to work with such a fantastic staff and such wonderful families. I hope to get to know you better throughout this year.
