| Introduction | I have been teaching for 12 years. This will be my third year with STREAM after spending the previous 8 years at Roosevelt Elementary School, in Redwood City, CA teaching 5th Grade. I grew up in San Carlos, CA, which is located in the San Francisco Bay Area halfway between San Francisco and San Jose. I attended Junipero Serra High School in San Mateo then went on to the University of San Diego where I majored in Diversified Liberal Arts with a Concentration in History. I earned my teaching credential from Notre Dame de Namur in Belmont, CA. My mission is to provide an effective classroom learning environment while making the process of learning engaging, challenging and most of all fun. I strive to challenge my students to their full potential. In doing so, my students have won the Biz World Challenge in 2012 and 2013. In 2014 I was honored to receive the J. Russell Kent Award from the San Mateo County School Boards Association for my Pencil Box News program. This award is given to innovative and outstanding classroom programs. |
| Interests | When I am not spending time teaching or prepping for class I enjoy all types of sports. I am a loyal fan of the San Francisco Giants, 49ers and Sharks and bits of my enthusiasm for these teams are visible in my classroom. I enjoy golf and I am constantly striving to keep my drives straight and on the fairway. I enjoy all forms of technology having built computers and components from scratch. There isn't a technology issue I shy away from. |
