I am the first grade teacher and teacher in charge at Pescadero Elementary School. This is my fourth year teaching and I am very excited to be here. I grew up in Pacific Grove, California, where my family still lives. I received my Bachelors in Arts from the Hutchins School of Liberal Studies at Sonoma State University. I received my Multiple Subject Teaching Credential and Masters of Education from University California, Santa Cruz. While in school I volunteered in many elementary school classrooms, worked for one year as an Americorps Mentor Teacher and completed my student teaching in both Watsonville and Santa Cruz. I live in Half Moon Bay and am enjoying the area.
