Within this program, she not only taught students from the district, she mentored Stanford students that were in the process of earning their teaching credential. She helped student teachers gain confidence and experience within a classroom setting. She loves being a part of student learning! In addition, she has been an instructional coach within the district and the principal in the Summer Exploration Program for middle school.
