I am so excited to be your child’s first-grade teacher for the 2026–2027 school year! This is my seventh year teaching at Twin Lakes Christian School, where I have had the joy of teaching both first grade and a combination first/second-grade class. First grade is truly where my heart is, and I can’t wait to share an amazing year of learning, growing, and making memories with you and your child!
I grew up in the East Bay, where most of my family still lives. I have two older half-sisters, a younger brother, and a younger sister, as well as lots of wonderful nieces and nephews!
I graduated from Bethany University with a Bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education and went on to earn my teaching credential and Master’s degree in Teaching. I love creating a classroom where children feel safe, loved, encouraged, and excited to learn.
When I’m not at school, I enjoy camping, swimming, going on road trips, reading, running my very small business, Coastal Poppy, and spending time with my family and friends. I’m looking forward to getting to know your family and making this a wonderful year for your child!
