Welcome to
Sage Canyon School

I am so excited to be joining the Sage Canyon family. I have spent my summer visiting with family and moving to beautiful San Diego. This is a welcome home to me. While I have spent the last 23 years in the Fresno/Clovis area of Central California, I am now returning to my old stomping grounds to be near my family.


I have been working in Special Education since 2009, and have my Mild/Moderate Education Specialist Credential with a master’s degree in Special Education. I love my job and I love working with students with learning differences. I have a passion for finding techniques to help anchor a student’s learning as well as having a strong belief that every child can learn. Del Mar Union’s Mission Statement, “To ignite genius and empower students to advance the world,” was a key element that led me to your fine district.

This year will be a great one full of learning, laughing, and growing. I am excited to join with your family in furthering your student’s learning journey.
