Welcome to
Sycamore Ridge School
Sycamore Ridge School
Educational Background and Professional Experience: I attended college at The College of William & Mary in Virginia, majoring in psychology. Here in San Diego, I earned and cleared my multiple subject credential, mild/moderate support needs credential, and extensive support needs credential. This will be my 9th year teaching special education and my 4th year at Sycamore Ridge! I previously taught at a non-public school that focused on community based instruction and a public school in a 3rd-5th grade extensive needs classroom.

I believe that students learn best in an environment where they feel safe, loved, and valued. My goal is to make school that place for them. They should look forward to coming to school and school should be a place that helps them grow. Students have learning needs, skills, strengths, and interests that are unique to them and my goal is to get to know these. I value collaboration and communication with colleagues and parents and think that both are key to creating a successful school environment. I am so excited to kick off this year and get to know your children!
I grew up in New Jersey with 3 brothers, and ventured out to San Diego after one too many winters! I got married in San Diego in 2021 to my wonderful husband, Aaron, and we had our first baby, Vivian, back in May 2025. I enjoy spending time with my family and watching Vivian grow and explore the world. I also love running, going to the beach, drinking coffee, and of course, teaching!
