I was born and raised in Torrance, California. I moved to Utah to attend school at the University of Utah. In March of 2012, I completed a year of Student Teaching in a 3rd grade class at Wasatch Elementary. I graduated from the University of Utah with a Bachelor of Science degree in Elementary Education along with an ESL Endorsement. After college, I started my teaching career at HighMark Charter School in a 3rd grade classroom. I taught 3rd grade for three years and 4th grade for one year. I am excited to be at St. Olaf, and I am excited to teach 4th grade again!
In my free time, I enjoy reading a variety of books that allows my mind to travel to new places and to share unique experiences with the characters. From the time I was little, my parents have shared their passion for music with me, so at every opportunity I love to attend concerts. Family and friends are very important to me and I love to spend time with them. My mom and grandma live in Henderson, Nevada, I love to visit them in my free time.
I have always wanted to be a teacher, and I want to share my love of learning with my students. I am here to help my students learn to the best of their ability and enjoy their time in school.
