In the midst of all of my schooling, I moved here to San Diego in April of 2018 for my husband's career, US Navy- Seabee Construction Mechanic. We welcomed our son, Nash Axel Gray, on March 18th, 2022. I also have a dog named Coco and a cat named Cosmo that keep us company in our townhome in Point Loma. 

Things I enjoy outside of school:

I am incredibly excited to get to know you and your families this school year! I love to build relationships, get to know my students, and challenge my students to be the best that they can be. I am passionate about our students whole well-being and will be utilizing social and emotional learning resources.
