My Background
I was born and raised in Santa Ana California.  I moved to Riverside County with my family  in 1997.  I attended California State University, San Bernardino and received both my BA in English, Creative Writing and my secondary teaching credential.  My hobbies are writing, reading, films, gardening, and cooking.  I am proud to say that I come from a very supporting and loving family. 

My Philosophy of Education
"Listen to our children." 
I believe that if we listen to our children we can make a great difference in their lives.  As a teacher, I hope to inspire and motivate my students to learn.  I am determined to establish an effective learning environment where safety, respect, and appreciation generate the atmosphere.  I truly believe that ALL children can learn.
