Coyote Creek Elementary

Coyote Creek is a wonderful school to teach for, I love creating magical learning moments and community.  Having grown up in the East Bay, I was very involved with serving and always returned to my elementary school as a teacher’s helper, intern and student teacher. Becoming a teacher just always seemed natural. I studied at UC Berkeley for my bachelor’s degree with my graduate studies in Education from San Francisco State University and California State East Bay.

Alongside raising three children, teaching has brought me many wonderful opportunities.  For the SRVUSD, I’ve taught 5th grade at Coyote Creek and several years at Windemere Ranch Middle School teaching performing and visual art electives and 6th Grade Core. Prior to this, I was a 4th grade teacher in Danville, a Dance and P.E. teacher at Las Positas College, and a first grade teacher in San Lorenzo and San Leandro.

As a member of the community, I have been lucky to share my passion of dance by owning my own dance studio, choreographing and directing musicals for various schools and companies and performing professionally for corporate events and theater companies.

In my spare time, I enjoy strolling on the beach with my husband and our little dog as well as hosting get-togethers and listening to music. My happy place is sharing experiences with others, I am thankful to spend my day doing what I love.
