Since my first day of kindergarten I knew that I wanted to be a teacher. I am a bay area native and grew up in Santa Cruz. I have taught in public schools in San Francisco, Dixon, and now Woodside. This is my 13th year teaching at Woodside Elementary School and 19th year teaching. I'm thrilled to be a new mom and a proud auntie to five adorable nieces. Your child will be hearing lots of stories about them this year! I feel so lucky to be a part of an amazing school like Woodside. Kindergarten is a wonderful year of growth and I look forward to leading your child through an incredible year!
