about me as a Teacher

As your child’s teacher, it is my goal to create a safe learning environment where your child can flourish and grow. I also strive to foster a love for learning and spark curiosities. I believe all students can learn and value families as the best resource to help them do so.

About Me

I was born in the Philippines and moved to the United States when I was ten years old. I lived in Milpitas, CA from eighth to twelfth grade and Milpitas Unified School District. I completed undergraduate studies at San Jose State University. Then I realized that I needed to fulfill my childhood aspirations and ventured on to get my Teaching Credentials at SJSU.This is my twentieth year teaching at Joseph Weller Elementary. I consider myself very fortunate to have found a school with such hard-working and collaborative colleagues and a supportive community. I love the way my students influence and enrich my life, just as much as I do theirs.When I am not teaching, I like to spend time with family and friends. Some activities we enjoy are: skiing, hiking, camping, kayaking, music concerts, traveling and exploring new places--near and far.
