I have been an experienced educator with a passion for teaching since 1998. With a vast background in guiding students from first to third grades and currently as a 4th grade teacher, my dedication to teaching shines through.  I firmly believe that families play a crucial role in their child's success. I understand the significance of strong family support and involvement in a student's educational journey.  I have a Bachelor's degree from the University of Iowa in elementary education and a Master's degree from Cal State San Bernardino in reading and language arts.  When not in the classroom, you can find me exploring the world through my love of traveling and spending time with my husband and daughter.
