I grew up in Meiners Oaks, just 10 minutes away from Oak View. When I was in first grade I wanted to become a teacher because I wanted a stapler (true story). I am happy to announce that I now own my very own stapler and my reasons for becoming a teacher have changed tremendously.
I completed my undergraduate work at the University of California, Santa Barbara. Go GUACHOS! During my time there I was able to volunteer at local schools through my college courses. I worked for several years as a paraprofessional until I received my multiple subject teaching credential from California Lutheran University. I strongly believe in the power of education. Learning never stops. Even as a teacher I continue to grow and learn from my students on a daily basis. I will continue to provide a classroom environment where students feel safe and ready to learn. |
