Hello!
Education:
I grew up attending schools in Milpitas. After, I continued my Bachelors and Teaching Credential at CSU Bakersfield. I finished with my Masters in Curriculum and Instruction at Grand Canyon University.
About Me:
My family came to Colorado from the Philippines and settled in Milpitas in the '80s and I have seen our town grow so much. A big difference is the Milpitas Library. Something that has stayed the same is the traffic on Escuela Parkway at 8 AM and Kim Lee's noodles. I love giving back to our community by teaching our younger generations. It truly is a full circle moment. It will be my seventh year teaching at MUSD. I have a wonderful 5 year old son, Elijah, who is starting Kindergarten this year.
Books:
I love reading The Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket.
Color:
Anything black or butter yellow maybe even mustard
Food:
Tacos- Tijuana style, Chicken Biryani, and Tlayudas
I can talk about main dishes forever. I love trying new foods!
Subject:
In high school, I fell in love with Language Arts and Writing!
Hobbies:
A fun fact about me is that I absolutely hate running! However, I run a lot with my best friend and have even joined a running group. It’s much more fun when I get to spend time with friends. One of my favorite ways to relax is coloring with my favorite markers while listening to good music. I could spend hours doing that!
Candy:
Sour gummy candy covered in either chamoy and Tajin or Li Hing Mui and lemon peel is drool worthy in my books.
Drink:
A Vietnamese coffee with egg cream from Da Vien makes a Monday better every time.
Pets:
I have two furry friends. Junior is a Pomeranian poodle who loves to cuddle and run. Theodore is younger than Junior and much more feisty. Their favorite treats include salmon skin, chicken adobo on their dinner, and Elijah's leftovers that "accidentally" drop on the floor.
Fruits:
Take me to Ocean Market and I will buy a juicy mango, strawberries, and green grapes. Of course, I add lime with Tajin.
What are your favorites?
