This is my 20th year as an educator in Santa Ana Unified and my 6th at MCHS. I am a passionate advocate for my students and strongly believe in the MCHS schoolwide AVID program which focuses on Rigorous Academic Preparedness, Opportunity Knowledge, and Student Agency.
AVID's Mission is to close the opportunity gap by preparing all students for college and career readiness and success in a global society. AVID 10 focuses on identity and asks students to develop their story, while also focusing on career pathways.
Seniors are trained as AVID tutors using the official AVID Center curriculum. They interact with our 9th and 10th grade students as mentors and coaches and facilitate weekly tutorial sessions.
My husband is a teacher at McFadden and my daughter is a 8th grader. My son is here at MCHS. We are big LA Galaxy fans!
During the summer, I work for AVID Center, training other educators on AVID strategies.
I love to travel and explore the world. I hike, trail run, practice yoga and strength train daily.
I love to cook! I am vegan and love to try to turn traditional recipes into plant based versions.
