I am thrilled to be the newest member of the Cherokee Point Cheetah family! A native San Diegan, I have called the neighborhoods of City Heights, Imperial Beach, Chula Vista, North Park, and SDSU my homes throughout the years. I have worked in the intersection of education and community for many years, including for the last 3 years with the Hoover and Crawford clusters. When I'm not on campus you can usually find me grooving at a concert, getting messy with arts & crafts, nerding out over a board game, or eating something delicious and spicy.

As your Community Schools Site Coordinator I am here to:

Facilitate the process of whole school transformation and lead strategies for positive student outcomes. This includes assisting in developing equitable, student-centered learning experiences that are based on the knowledge of Cherokee Point stakeholders and which address identified community priorities, as well as creating and strengthening community partnerships and integrated support services to ensure alignment with school goals and sustainability plans.

I have been fortunate enough to work at Cherokee point for the last 6 years in TK and Kindergarten, also known as the best grades ever. I love the students that I serve, the families who support and uplift our children, and the diverse community our school resides in. 

I was born and raised in San Diego and feel grateful to live in a city that others call a travel destination. We have some of the best food, weather, and people. If I am not eating a carne asada burrito or scarfing down lasagna, you can catch me at the local farmers market or hiking on a trail outdoors. 

As your Commuity Schools Site Coach I am here to:

Guide and support the development of Community-Based and Project-Based Learning, promote professional development and shared leadership among staff, cultivate leadership skills in students, and assist in implementing working groups while monitoring progress.
