I have worked with children in East Palo Alto, Davis, and San Carlos for the past six years. I began my journey with SMARTE aftercare and am currently serving as the District Office Secretary in the mornings while also working with TKELP in the afternoons. My favorite part of working with children is witnessing their bright smiles early in the morning and discovering the adventures that await us each day.
In my free time, I enjoy spending quality moments with my two cats, catching up on my favorite shows, and exploring new places. I also love discovering new hobbies, particularly those that involve arts and crafts. I look forward to continuing to make a positive impact in the lives of our students!

Hello! I am excited to be returning to TKELP for a second-year educator. I have a deep passion for working with young children and am committed to fostering a positive and nurturing learning environment. In my free time, I enjoy spending quality time with my family and playing with my dog. I look forward to building meaningful connections with the students and contributing to their growth and development throughout the year.
I’m a proud mom and passionate educator who loves creating a warm, supportive space where children can learn and grow.
I enjoy helping kids build confidence, curiosity, and creativity through hands-on experiences and positive encouragement. Working with children inspires me every day and reminds me of the importance of patience, empathy, and connection.
At White Oaks Elementary, TKELP offers a calm, structured, and engaging after-school experience designed specifically for Transitional Kindergarten students. Each afternoon includes a balance of indoor activities, creative play, and outdoor time in familiar campus spaces. Outdoor play takes place on the playground and the TK patios, providing developmentally appropriate areas for movement, exploration, and social interaction. TK students are supported by trained TKELP staff who prioritize safety, consistent routines, and positive transitions from the TK classroom into the program. Daily activities are thoughtfully planned to support social-emotional development, independence, and a positive end-of-day experience.
