Hi! I’m Ms. Sam. This is my second year teaching lower elementary at CMP- Bradshaw. I am 23 years old and am living in Sacramento with my best friend! I enjoy camping, spending time with friends and family, and reading a good book. I grew up moving all over beautiful California, graduating from Folsom High School in 2015. I graduated from Saint Mary’s College of California in 2018 with my BA in Justice, Community, and Leadership, and in 2019 with my teaching credential and MA in Education. This summer, I completed my Montessori Credential! I’m excited to make this year the best yet!

My name is Tiphani Gonzales. I attended Simpson University from 2007-2011 with a focus in Education. I have many years of experience with students, from working as the Outreach Educator for Shasta Women’s Refuge to a Preschool Teacher in Oregon. I am currently a Lower Elementary TA and Club M Coordinator. This school year marks my 8th year at CMP! WOW! My first four years were spent at the Elk Grove Blvd site. Upon moving to Bradshaw for my fifth year, I accepted the role as Elk Grove Club M Coordinator.

Outside of CMP, I love being outdoors. Kayaking, camping, swimming, and yard saling are my absolute favorite activities. I also enjoy card making, cooking, and sewing. This year has brought about so many changes, but I am very excited to be on this adventure together.
