Welcome to our 2022 - 2023 school year! I am so excited about starting this school year off with amazing students and amazing staff. Our 5th grade team is the BEST! This marks my 3rd year at Alamos but my 29th year with TVUSD. And before that, I worked in the Chula Vista School District as a 6th grade teacher at Rosebank Elementary School. So, in total, we are looking at 30 years of teaching grades K-12 and I have LOVED every grade level. People will ask me what my favorite grade level has been and I can honestly say that kids are kids no matter what their age and all kids want to know that everything is going to be okay. I may ask a lot of my students, but please know I will work just as hard as I require them to work. 

    On a more personal note, I have a beautiful daughter named Hannah, who graduated from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo and is now beginning her masters program at UC Santa Barbara.  I love cooking and baking and you can usually find me at Kitchen Fantasy spending my paycheck. I am a firm believer in working hard, working out, and treating all things with respect and kindness. 

     Happy new school year everyone!
