Teacher Biography

I earned my Bachelor's degree in Comparative Literature and Spanish literature from U.C. Irvine in 1998, followed by a teaching credential from U.C. Irvine in 1999. That year, I began my teaching career at SAUSD as an English teacher at Saddleback High School. I continued to teach English for eleven years until I transitioned to Spanish. In 2016, I earned my Master's degree in Curriculum & Instruction from Concordia University. This school year marks my twenty-sixth year as a high school teacher.  I look forward to teaching first and third year Spanish to non-native students. I am also the enthusiastic Red Cross advisor.
