I can’t imagine doing anything other than teaching. I feel so fortunate to have spent the past 20 years doing what I truly love, and I couldn’t be any more excited to be a 4th grade teacher next year! I have been a part of the Los Altos School District family for the past 11 years, and I’m looking forward to creating new learning opportunities for students with this amazing staff. I have diverse experience, teaching second, third, fourth and fifth grades. This gives me the unique perspective of seeing where 4th graders have come from and where they will be going. My passion is fostering and igniting the minds of children, so they can see their strengths and use them to reach their full potential. Learning should be engaging and relevant, and I firmly believe that every child can thrive. Equally important is the social and emotional well-being of our children, especially in these challenging times. I look forward to working together for the success of all our children.
