About Me
Welcome to Second Grade Explorers and Explorer families! I am so excited to get to know each of you, your student, and your family as we partner together to create a meaningful and positive learning experience this school year. Second Grade is truly an exciting and amazing year, full of hands-on learning, important developmental milestones, and the exploration of so many new concepts and ideas!
Through the use of Responsive Classroom, Tribes Learning Communities, and Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports, I strive to create a positive, inclusive learning community in which all students feel welcome, comfortable, and are able to do their very best learning. Implementing a Workshop Model, Inquiry and Project-based Learning, as well as GLAD strategies, I seek to differentiate my instructional practices to best meet the needs of all the learners in my classroom.
I received my B.A. in Political Science and a Minor in Professional Writing from UC Santa Barbara and my Multiple Subject Teaching Credential from UC Davis. I am also currently enrolled at UC Davis and will obtain my M.A. in Education in March 2019. Born and raised in the Natomas area (I attended elementary, middle, AND high school here), it is such an honor and privilege to join the Westlake Charter School team and to be back teaching and working with students in the community that I will forever call "home"!
In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, working out, crafting, being outside, and traveling!
