Hi, I'm Christen. I was born and raised in San Jose, CA. I currently reside in Santa Clara. I am an ECE major here at PO and finishing up my last semester! I work with children with special needs at the Santa Clara school district. Prior to that, I was a toddler teacher working with children ages 18 months to 2 years. I have been in the field for 12 years now and plan to continue for many years to come.

I am a mom to two teenage boys (13 and 17) and one sassy seven year old girl. When I'm not working or studying I love going on adventures with them. We have fun hiking, going to the beach, etc.

I'm pretty into arts and crafts. When I have the time, I enjoy baking as well and recently started making my own candles.
