All About Ms. Best

e'vWelcome to this 2026-2027 school year! This is my 14th year teaching at Patterson.

I got my teaching credential from Chapman University in 2011 and received my Masters in Curriculum & Instruction in May of 2019 from Brandman University. I've always wanted to be a teacher since I could remember.

Family is VERY important to me and I want to instill that into my son. I love cooking, baking, and making homemade sougdough. My dad taught me how to cook and we love to plan a meal together and cook for family & friends. I travel a lot to Arizona because my mother's whole side of the family lives there and we are a very close Hispanic familia!

The students will soon realize that I am a HUGE Disney fan! You're never too old to have a magical time!

My Why

Patterson is my second home and I love the people I work with. I even have the privilege of calling some of them my family. I have enjoyed making many memories with the students & families at Patterson and it has been amazing having siblings of previous students' in my class. I am extremely blessed that my son also gets to be at my "2nd home" and see why I LOVE the teachers I work with. I believe that teachers set the tone in the classroom and schools have a HUGE impact in our lives. I need to be the best "student" in the classroom so that my students have a model of what is expected.

My parents (Wayne & Laura) have instilled great values in my sister, Dayna, and I. We promise to be honest with one another and not take things so seriously because our time together is precious.
