My Background
I have taught middle school English and social studies for over ten years. I love working at Woodside and being a wildcat! I am excited to teach 7th grade ELA and 6th grade social studies this year.
I grew up in the Central Valley before earning my B.A. in English Literature from UC Santa Cruz. From there, I attained my single-subject English teaching credential from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. I then earned my M.A. in Literature from San Francisco State.
I look forward to seeing all my students again and watching them thrive.
When I’m not in my classroom, I love spending time with my family and friends, traveling, and trying new restaurants around the Bay Area. I live in Moss Beach with my husband, daughter, and Shiba Inu.
My Philosophy
As a teacher, I am committed to ensuring that each and every one of my students is successful. I measure student success by looking at their academic achievement and considering their ability to effectively collaborate with their classmates and their social-emotional growth as individuals. To facilitate my students’ fulfillment of these different aspects, I focus on building a strong rapport with them and fostering a safe learning environment.
