Welcome!

Teaching is an absolute passion of mine! I am so excited to work with you and your child. It is going to be a year full of learning and lots of new experiences. I cannot wait to see what the year has in store for us!

Here is a little bit about me. I come from a large close family. I have lots of nieces and nephews. I live in my forever home because my father and youngest brother built me my dream house. I was part of the first class to graduate from Etiwanda High School way back when. Some hobbies that I enjoy are crafting, cardmaking, scrapbooking, traveling, and reading! Unlike most teachers on the planet, I do not drink coffee or tea, never have liked the taste of either drink.

I love what I do! This will be my 25th year of teaching 2nd grade at Solorio. Besides working with my 2nd graders, I have been fortunate to have had many roles throughout my teaching career: a mentor/Master teacher, Admin. Designee, a Professional Development Trainer, Grade Level Chair, and a Title One Coach for our district. It is my mission to instill a love for learning in my students. I attempt to teach with a passion so that my students develop a desire to become life-long learners.

I have high expectations for my students and expect their partnership. Respect is an integral part of my classroom. Each student is unique and capable of great things. It is my goal that your child is successful not only academically but also as a well-rounded individual. I look forward to building a partnership with you and your child.

Please contact me with any questions or concerns. It is so important to keep communication open between us and I would love to talk to you whenever you feel the need! I look forward to a great year together!
