This is my first year of teaching, and I’m so excited to begin this journey! I was born and raised with my older brother in Orange County, California, and I still love visiting my family, friends, and dogs there. I moved to Fort Worth, Texas to attend Texas Christian University, where I earned my Bachelor of Science in Education in May 2024. I continued my education right away and completed my Master of Education in Curriculum & Instruction in May 2025.

Throughout my time at TCU, I had the opportunity to work in a variety of educational roles, including serving as a teaching assistant in the College of Education, volunteering as a reading tutor with Reading Partners North Texas, and spending time as both an aftercare teacher and a nanny. I also completed student teaching in a range of grade levels in Fort Worth ISD and Eagle Mountain-Saginaw ISD.

After several visits to Austin, I fell in love with the city and decided to make it my new home! I’m so excited to explore all it has to offer, from walking around Lady Bird Lake to visiting farmers' markets to discovering new coffee shops and restaurants. In my free time, I also love traveling (especially to visit my sorority sisters!), cheering on the TCU Horned Frogs, going to concerts, and reading a good book.

Thank you for trusting me with your child this year. I’m committed to creating a safe, positive, and nurturing classroom environment where every student can thrive. I look forward to partnering with you to support your student’s holistic growth and success. Let’s make it a great year! Go Falcons!
