I earned my BA at the University of Southern California in Political Science. My senior year I decided the education field interested me so I joined Teach for America and was sent to teach in New Orleans. I remained there for five years and returned to the Bay to be with family. After teaching in Oakland for six years I wanted a shorter commute and came here. It is an honor to work at Coyote Creek. We have hard working scholars, dedicated parents and a staff that goes above and beyond for our community. I am lucky to be a part of Coyote Creek. My husband, John and I married in 2010 and have welcomed two beautiful daughters, Madilyn and Gianna. We used to take leisurely walks in and around the Bay, but since our daughters arrived, Zoos and playgrounds are where you find us on the weekends. Friends and family are important to us so we often surround ourselves with loved ones from near and far.

I am excited to be teaching fifth grade again this year! Before coming to Coyote Creek, I previously taught both 4th and 5th grade at Charlie McKamy Elementary in Dallas, Texas.
Even though I taught in Texas, I'm a local girl. I grew up in Walnut Creek and went to St. Mary's Elementary School and Carondelet High School. I graduated from UC Davis with a bachelor of science in Psychology, and got my teaching credential from SMU in Texas. After teaching in Texas for awhile and enduring the wild and crazy weather, we moved back to the Bay Area in 2008.
Away from the classroom, I enjoy spending time with my husband and our 2 children. I also like shopping, running, swimming and reading. I'm looking forward to another exciting and memorable year at Coyote Creek!

Ever since I was a little kid, I spent time playing “teacher” in my mom’s classroom. I fell in love with everything about teaching as I grew up. I spent time as a wedding coordinator and then decided to go back to school and follow my passion to teach. I graduated with my BA in Liberal Studies with an emphasis in Early Childhood Development from CSU Chico and then moved on to get my Multiple Subjects Teaching Credential from CSU Monterey Bay.
My family is my support system and mean the world to me. I love to run, travel, and just try new things. I am so excited to be a part of the Coyote Creek team and community!
