Welcome to 5th Grade Discovery!
We are here to learn and grow, make mistakes, discover and pursue our passions, push ourselves to be the best version of ourselves we can be, and have a ton of fun while we do it.
I strive to create a classroom that is a caring community in which we honor, respect, and celebrate our individual strengths, challenges, and differences. I want to inspire my students to be curious, passionate, and kind. We will learn to think critically, remain open to possibilities, and form excellent habits of learning. Their future will be bright, and I'm excited to guide them on their way!
I believe in partnering with students and their families to make their learning journey as successful as possible. Please reach out to me with any questions or concerns you might have; I welcome your collaboration!

I will do my best to respond within 48 hours.
About me
Hello! I am thrilled to be part of the team at Northridge as the 5th grade Discovery teacher. I have been teaching for over 18 years in a wide variety of settings, including Montessori Lower Elementary, English as a Foreign Language, and Gifted Education. I recently got my Master's in Gifted Education and am passionate about teaching gifted students; they are my favorite people!
When I'm not teaching, you can find me hanging out with my friends and family. I have two children, a husband, and two cats (all of whom are also neurodiverse... cats included!). I love to dabble in a million different hobbies (some I'm good at, some not so much!). My interests include all things outdoorsy and active (rock climbing, skiing, paddle boarding, hiking, camping), reading fantastic novels, binging excellent TV series, goofing around on the ukulele, traveling, and gardening.
