I am so excited to be your child’s 3rd-grade teacher!
I look forward to a fantastic school year!
Where am I from? My family has always lived in California, growing up in the Bay Area with 6 siblings. My twin sister and I have a special bond and are both teachers. Explaining why the only picture that I could find was of the two of us.
My husband and three kids moved to Capitola, where we instantly felt like we were where we should be, home. Being by the ocean and beach with our family has afforded us so many wonderful activities. And the best of all, we have a lot of visitors who come to see this beautiful place we live.
My Education: I’ve always had a thirst for education and learning, both in a classroom setting and traveling around the world. After graduating from college, I began working towards my teaching credential. After that was complete, I continued until I received my Master's in education. I’m sure there’s still much more to learn and come in the future.
My Hobbies: I played a lot of soccer growing up. My first team was called the butterflies at age 5. I continued playing on traveling teams and into and even after my college career. I hung up the cleats for now, though my dad, sister, and I all get together for the father/ daughter weekend. Yes, he still plays at 83. I now have two dogs that require lots of walk/ runs. So, being outdoors is definitely important. I also make a lot of sourdough items: bread, bagels, crackers, and pizza dough. Really finding that inside and outside perfect balance is what I strive for. I would like to put time into learning how to play an instrument.
Food: my go-tos: Veggie burrito or taco, pizza, or fries. I mean, who doesn’t love fries?
Drink: Iced lattes or mochas
Store: Trader Joe’s, Dig Garden, and Target
Flower: I’m partial to calla lilies, our wedding flowers. I do appreciate all flowers and plants.
Animals: Elephants, pandas, and hippopotamuses
Restaurants: I love our local spots, Gayle’s, the Loft, and The Farm, to name a few
Places: Traveling all around the world with my family has been a blessing. So more recently traveled spots would be: Boston, Chicago, Georgia, Oregon, and Indonesia. Philippines, France, Spain, Mexico. I feel so lucky to live here, by the ocean, where so many people come to visit us, too
Ice-Cream: Anything really, and if I’m going to do it, a shake is a real treat!
Candy: Dark or White Chocolate
Movie: Disney movies, old and new
Book/Authors: Dr.Seuss books or Gail Gibbons
Color: Yellow
Season: Fall and Summer
Sport: I like watching hockey, soccer, baseball, and lacrosse. I really have been enjoying watching my children play and develop their interests. Volleyball has been very fun!
Singer: Jack Johnson to the orchestra. I sure do enjoy singing, moving, and listening to music.
