As a former classroom teacher, I'm passionate about every child in my care. I also have a theatre background where I taught in Berkeley Unified for 5 years before becoming a transitional kindergarten teacher in OUSD. Together I have more than 11 years of experience guiding children. I have my BA in liberal studies and a Masters in Educational Leadership as well as my teaching credential. I believe in creating a healthy learning environment empowered by a love for social justice and set a goal of creating leaders and amazing, well rounded individuals in my students.
With my certifications in First Aid, CPR, and teaching, I balance safety, education, and fun, to equip children with the tools they need to thrive and achieve a bright and happy future.
