Del Mar Hills Academy
Educational Background and Professional Experience:
My education started right here in Del Mar. I attended Del Mar Heights, Earl Warren, and Torrey Pines (fun fact: my mother also attended all these schools). I went to the University of California Santa Barbara and received a Bachelor of Art's degree in Political Science and Spanish. Olé Gauchos! Soon after, I moved back to San Diego to complete a Master's of Education in Curriculum and Instruction at the University of San Diego along with my teaching credential. I also hold a Dual Language Certificate from San Diego State University.
This will be my 12th year teaching and my 6th year at Del Mar Hills. I have taught kindergarten and 1st grade while at the Hills. I taught 4th grade for 6 years in a Dual Language Immersion program, just up the coast, in Encinitas. Now I am very excited to be a 6th grade teacher and share a class with Mrs. Duncan!

What to Expect in 6th Grade?
"Education is not the filling of a pail but the lighting of a fire." - W.B. Yeats
I believe that my role as a teacher is to facilitate learning experiences that foster a desire to question, investigate, and seek out knowledge. In that endeavor, I strive for students to have fun every day and to create a classroom environment that fosters a love of learning. As a class, we will establish a culture of thinking and a place where we can take risks. I want your child to be excited to come to school every day.

Life Outside of the Ocean
My time outside of school is spent with my family, my husband and our 1 year old daughter, Gracie. We love spending time with our 2 dogs, reading, and having endless dance parties to nursery rhymes.
