About Us

Hi, I'm a Mom, former teacher, and former teaching coach in San Diego. Despite my educational background, I joined the CAC with a desperate need for help to navigate the special education system. I continued with the CAC because of the monthly parent trainings and the welcoming community. I have remained with the CAC because of the connections I have with other parents and members of the Department of Special Education. I am part of the conversation regarding special education in the SDUSD, and I am allowed to have a voice in driving change. In fact, any parent who shows up to a CAC meeting has the same opportunity.  Join us!

Profile coming soon — board members are encouraged to share a bit about themselves to help connect with our community. 

I have been a special education teacher for 23 years, with 21 of those years serving in the San Diego Unified School District. For much of my career, I’ve focused on the Adult Transition school TRACE, helping young adults with disabilities gain the skills, confidence, and independence they need to thrive beyond high school. My passion for teaching grew from a belief that every student deserves the tools, support, and opportunities to succeed—no matter their challenges. Over the years, I’ve worked with incredible students and families, adapting to changes in education while staying committed to meeting each learner where they are. Whether in the classroom, out in the community, or collaborating with the Community Advisory Committee, my goal has always been to improve services for the students that our district serves.
