About Me

Personal Bio

I obtained my B.A. in Philosophy from UCSC in 2015 and previously worked as a legal assistant and paralegal with the intention of becoming a lawyer. However, after 5 years in the legal profession I decided that I did not enjoy the work. I got my substitute teaching permit in summer of 2017, and started my first long term substitute position that fall. The position was both daunting and serendipitous. The position was to cover for the teacher who had replaced my mother when she retired, and I would be teaching the same class, in the same room, as my mother had taught for 17 years. I immediately fell in love with the students and the profession, and enrolled at UCSC for my Masters Degree in Education. This is my 7th year in education, and my 5th year as a full time teacher. I could not be more excited to be teaching math and science, my true educational passion.
