I attended college in Las Vegas. While earning my degree in Psychology from UNLV I really reflected on all the great teachers I had in my own life. My passion for learning drove me to want to teach elementary school. I wanted to make an impact and make a difference the way my second-grade teacher and my 10th grade English teacher had done for me. After moving back to California I began an intense intern program and obtained my teaching credential! I have taught 3-5th grades. I still love learning and teaching after all these years.
