Education and Career... I received my Bachelor’s Degree, as well as my teaching credential from UC Irvine. I have been teaching in Irvine for my entire career since 1992. I have taught various primary grades from Kinder to 3rd. Most of my time in IUSD has been in 2nd grade!
Philosophy... I believe that all children are different and special in their own way. That's what makes them unique! They are resilient, and so very capable of more than what we think as adults. I believe in fostering a sense of independence, and an "I can" attitude. Therefore, it is our job to help them be empowered!
I Love… to spend time cooking meals for my family. I strive to make meals that brings on the comment “Oh...so good” (sometimes I’m successful). I also love to shop and read mysteries.
Fun Fact... I have wanted to be a 2nd grade teacher since I was in the 2nd grade! My 2nd grade teacher made teaching so much fun that I wanted to be exactly like her. Even though I don’t have brown hair and wear orange lipstick, I try to make school as fun for my students, as she did for me.
