All my life I wanted to be a teacher. It was the one place I felt confident and safe in my unpredictable and chaotic childhood. In 2000, I started as a 4th grade bilingual teacher in Oakland right out of college on an emergency credential. I soon realized that I wasn’t prepared to adequately provide students with what they needed. In 2005, I returned to education as an SH Instructional Aide and Substitute Teacher at BDMS, unable to resist the educational field. I then became the teacher of that class when the position became available and worked on getting my credential and Masters in Special Education. I eventually left the classroom to work as a Program Specialist and Special Education Coordinator with the hopes of building deeper and more seamless connections between general and special education programs. Missing direct contact with students, I left the district office to DRMS and Park as a VP. I've now begun a new adventure as a high school VP here at AHS!

During my time as an educator, my passion has been connecting students through individualized interventions based heavily on building relationships between schools and families. I believe that students NEED to have healthy and nourishing relationships to be connected to each other and to become responsible citizens. Community schools focus on uplifting students as integral to our overall success as a society and provide the opportunity for students and educators to learn from one another to create meaningful and dynamic learning outcomes that greatly benefit our world. We recognize the incredible impact of building a foundation of socio-emotional wellness to support lifelong learners and compassionate leaders. I’m proud to live and work in my community and see the long-lasting effects this shift has made.
