This is my eleventh year at Northridge Elementary School.  I have taught math enrichment, special education and am starting my sixth year as NRE's GT Facilitator.  I am a graduate of Arizona State University and have a masters in Educational Psychology from Texas A&M.  

I have two children (young adults) who also attended NRE.  My son now attends  University of California - Santa Cruz and my daughter recently graduated from LIU-Post.  

Welcome! I am the half time GT Facilitator for K-2. I have a background in teaching in the primary grades and in Spanish and ELD programs. I am also endorsed as a Reading Specialist. This is my sixth year at NRE, where I have taught small group reading and math and worked with our littlest GT learners.

I have two GT kids of my own, one who still attends Northridge and one who has moved on to middle school!

Please don't hesitate to reach out! Navigating the GT world can sometimes be confusing and intimidating, and I'm here to help.
