About Mrs. Broom

This is my fourth year at San Elijo Middle School teaching 8th grade History. Before I was here, I worked for the Carlsbad Unified School District, and before that I taught skiing and snowboarding at Park City Mountain Resort in Utah for six years while I completed my bachelor's degree in American Studies. I have spent my adult life working with kids and believe it's my calling. I also have a master's degree in Teaching and I love my job. I run the volleyball program here at SEMS and actively participate in making SEMS the best it can be. I feel passionate about making a difference and setting my students up for success in future classrooms, with peer relationships, and in the big wide world.

While I love my job, I also have an active life outside of school. I love to travel, read, eat delicious foods, go to concerts, ski, and spend time with my husband and local family. I have been married for two years to the handsome kiwi above. I was born and raised in North County, San Diego so I feel well connected to the community and look forward to getting to know all the families and students I will serve this year.
