My name is Mrs. Patel and I am Westlake Charter Education Specialist for Kinder through 3rd grade. I have been at Westlake for almost 9 years. I graduated from Indiana University with a BS in Early Childhood Education and National University with a Masters of Arts in Education and a emphasis on Social Emotional Learning. I love spending time with my family & my dog, road trips, traveling, and the beach!

My name is Mr. Grimaldi and I am Westlake Charter Education Specialist for 4th through 6th grade. This is my second year at Westlake! I graduated from California State University, Sacramento with a B.A. in Child and Adolescent Development. I love to read, rock climb and travel around the world.

My name is Mr. Alcantar and I am Westlake Charter School’s Education Specialist for 7th and 8th grade. This will be my first year at Westlake Charter and I am really excited about it.
