Hello and welcome! :)

I was born and raised in Southern California and I am the second to youngest child in a family of five children. I knew I wanted to be an educator from a very young age - around 7/8 to be exact. I always enjoyed reading to and being the leader of younger children (especially with my little sister). It was this love for being around children (even though I myself was a child at the time), my enjoyment of learning and school, and some amazing educators throughout my life that made me want to be a teacher. 

I graduated with honors from Cal State Fullerton with my Bachelors of Science in Child and Adolescent Development. The following year, I attended Cal State Fullerton's credential program and finished up 2 semesters later with my Multiple Subject Teaching Credential. This is my third year teaching at Scholarship Prep Charter School. I am a strong believer in that every child can be successful with the right tools, motivation, instruction, and push. Every child can be college bound! 

I have a love and passion for math and believe that math can absolutely be fun and is best learned when students can connect with the content being taught. I believe that each classroom should be a family unit and place an emphasis on this in my own classroom with my students. I value respect and kindness and not only show my students this each day, but expect it in return (not only to me, but to their peers and staff as well). I truly believe that "each child is is unique, not only capable of learning but also capable of succeeding" (Robert John Meehan). Let’s make it a great year!
