***Education illuminates the world!***
I VALUE THE TOTAL CHILD!
Academics are crucial to success and opportunities in life.
Social & emotional well being creates a meaningful path to happiness & success!
A learner is something you become by choice & learning continues in every facet of your life.
I value each student for his or her uniqueness. My goal every day is to help each child access their incredible highest authentic selves!
Second grade is committed to...

Building a positive classroom culture
Incorporating the Sage Success Skills (empathy, embracing diversity, integrity, grit and self-control)
Life Outside of the Coyote Den
My husband Chris and I have 3 boys Jack (17), Ty (14) & Luke (11) we are very active & love life !
When I am not at school I love to learn about the mysteries of life in order to expand my knowledge of and connection to the universe.
I live for watching my 3 boys connecting with and competing in their sports.
As a family, we enjoy going to the beach, surfing and riding bikes together! One of the things we like to teach together is surf lessons to our family & friends. It feels amazing to inspire others to try new things and connect to nature while exercising.
We love to go on family bike rides to the village in Carlsbad and love to find new adventures to explore nature!
WE WILL HAVE A GREAT YEAR!
Looking forward to meeting all of you!
