Human first. Teacher second.I became a teacher to spread & practice compassion, to help people feel loved & confident as they learn & grow. My daily goal is to be as approachable as possible so that my students feel comfortable asking for help.
Back in '08, I earned both my Bachelors degree in math & my teaching credential from Cal State Long Beach, making this my 12th year teaching. I've taught everything from Pre-Algebra to AP Calculus. I'm very excited to be back for my fourth year at Santa Rosa. Growing up in Big Bear instilled in me a love of the piney outdoors and that "small town feel," so naturally, the intimate setting here at SRA has proven to be a perfect fit. My favorite pastime? Sitting at a coffee shoppe for hours, doing a crossword puzzle, reading a good novel, and hand lettering. You might also find me eating avocado toast with sunflower sprouts, drinking ice water, backpacking/hiking, watching Netflix, playing with our 6 & 8 year old girls, and walking our dog, Trixie Malixie. |
