Believe it or not!

I grew up in Carmel Valley and I am an alumnus of both Carmel Valley Middle School and Canyon Crest Academy.

I also went to Ashley Falls and Torrey Hills!

 After high school, I attended the University of California, Davis and studied Agriculture and Environmental Science and Education.

 After a couple of years in the field, I decided to go back to school and earn my Masters in Education in Curriculum and Instruction and Dual credential as an education specialist (mild/mod) and science (life science & Chemistry) at the University of San Diego.

I grew up playing a lot of sports and doing all sorts of extra curricular activities. This is a huge reason why I love to coach nowadays! 

When I am not teaching or coaching I love spending time outdoors. I am an outdoor enthusiast who loves to camp, backpack, and hike. 

As happy as I am living in San Diego, I also enjoy traveling all over the world. I have had the privilege to work in Japan and live in Japan, backpack around Europe, and take other trips to Iceland and National Parks around the US.
