Hello! I am very excited to be your child's teacher this year and get to know them and you!!
But first, here is a little about me! I was born and raised in San Jose and was educated in the Union School District attending elementary school at Mirassou and Junior High at Dartmouth. My father was an educator/administrator in the area as well, so you could say teaching runs in my blood. I always knew I wanted to be a teacher and attended college at Brigham Young University where I graduated in Elementary Education. There, I met and married my husband and shortly after we made the move back to San Jose. We loved raising our three children in San Jose where they also went through the district attending Lone Hill Elementary, Union Middle School as well as my Alma Mater, Leigh High School! I am a proud Grandma of a granddaughter and grandson.
This is my sixteenth year teaching kindergarten at Oster and I have loved seeing the progression of the school and the district over the years to better cater to our children's overall education. I believe it is important to give students lots of time to learn, but also to play and develop their social and creative skills.
In my spare time I enjoy being with my family, finding fun places to go eat, working in my yard and taking walks in the Los Gatos Hills with my girlfriends. Being a Grandma has become my new love! I'm looking forward to another great year!
