This is my fifth year at Columbia Middle and I am looking forward to building upon the work we have done over the past three years. I firmly believe it takes a village in order for student and community success to thrive. I am enthusiastic about providing students with opportunities and resources to realize their full potential and achieve academic progress.

I started my career as a social science teacher in 2004, and since have worked in the capacity as a college counselor, dean, and assistant principal all over the Bay Area. I am also an International Institute of Restorative Practices trainer. When I am not at school, I play video games, draw, read, and I love cooking and baking. I am currently learning how to play Magic the Gathering and Dungeons and Dragons. Hablo Español.
