I am so lucky to be teaching in my dream job at Alta Vista. My own children used to attend Alta Vista, and I often volunteered in their classrooms while I was earning my teaching credential. Before I began teaching, I was a stay-at-home mom, and before I had children, I was a Human Resources Manager at a couple of technology companies.
My favorite thing to do is spend time with my family and pets. In my free time, I like to go to the beach, garden, travel, and read. I love taking yoga and Pilates classes and I look forward to sharing some basic yoga breathing exercises with my students.
This is my 18th year teaching third grade. Third graders are a joy to teach. They are curious and open-minded. They love meeting new people and learning classroom routines. They can work independently for short periods of time and they are learning how to work in groups. You will be amazed at how much the third graders will grow this year!
