I graduated with honors from California State University Fullerton in 2014 where I received my bachelor’s degree in Sociology. I am currently pursuing a Masters in Education and single subject teaching credential at National University.

I have always had a passion for education and learning and decided to pursue a career in which I can inspire young minds’ thirst for knowledge and personal development.

I am married to my loving and supportive husband with whom I have four children — three daughters and one son. We currently reside in Murrieta, California with our three dogs and one cat.

My goal as an educator is to create a classroom environment immersed with activities and discussion that promote self-discovery and problem-solving skills. In this facilitator-style approach, I hope to foster a deeper understanding of the material and concepts within my students.
