With over 20 years of experience as a dental hygienist, I have built my career around helping, supporting, and connecting people. While healthcare has been an important part of my journey, my true passion has always been education. I hold a California Multiple Subject Teaching Credential as well as a Master of Arts in teaching, and I am dedicated to helping students build confidence, skills, and a love of learning.
I have experience working with multiple grade levels and understand that no two learners are the same. Every child has unique strengths, challenges, and learning styles, and I believe it is important to meet students where they are. I work hard to create a positive, encouraging environment where students feel safe to ask questions, take risks, and grow.
My teaching style incorporates literacy support, Social Emotional Learning, project-based learning, and familiarity with California content standards. I pride myself on building strong relationships with students and families because I believe trust and connection are key to student success. Whether a student needs help strengthening foundational skills, building confidence, or reaching higher academic goals, I am committed to helping them succeed.
I believe learning should be engaging, personalized, and meaningful, and I love helping students discover that they are capable of more than they realize.
