Bio and Professional Experience

In college, I was blessed with an opportunity to work part time at Cerritos College Child Development Center, a laboratory school. After one semester, I accepted a position as a full time instructional assistant. During my 7 years working there, I also worked for the state program as Lead Teacher. It was there that I began mentoring college students. While working, I graduated with my Bachelors of Science from CSUDH. After Cerritos, I accepted a position to assist with the opening of a new Reggio Emilia inspired infant through preschool school in Long Beach California. For two years, I consulted with the organizations sites and gave workshops specialized in Reggio Emilia and Emergent Curriculum to staff. I became a California Mentor Teacher and received my Certificate as an Outdoor Classroom Specialist. I am also a Leader with the Leadership Exchange. My passion is teaching young children and advocating for their right to learn in developmentally appropriate ways. In 2018 I had an opportunity to come back to where it started: Los Alamitos Unified School District. I am blessed to be living out my passion.
