  • Teacher Profile: I grew up in Paradise, California, but I currently live in Hayward. I am a HUGE sports fan. I route for all Bay Area teams but have been a true Giants and 49ers fan since I was young. I grew up rooting for the Kings, but have become a Warriors fan since I moved to the Bay Area about 15 years ago. My most awesome sports experience was attending Game 2 of the Giants' 2010 World Series win. In my free time, you will definitely find me with my nose stuck in a book.
 
  • Favorite Quote: One child, one teacher, one book, one pen can change the world.” - Malala Yousafzai
 
  • College Education: I attended college at California State University, Chico. I majored in business marketing and international business. I spent my last year of college as an exchange student in Copenhagen, Denmark. After working in the business world for a little over 8 years I decided to go back to school to become a teacher. I have also completed my Master's degree in Educational Leadership at CSU, East Bay. I love working with kids and am glad I have a career I can be passionate about!
