Born and raised in Sacramento, California USA. I married my husband in 2010 and we have three sons. We all moved to Vietnam in 2023 to be at St. Paul. I enjoy reading, learning new things, eating good food, and spending time with family and friends. My undergraduate degree is in International Communication because I wanted to work in an embassy. Once I had my children and recognized their needs, I went back to school to become a teacher and went on to get my Master’s in Education with a Educational Diagnostician certificate and later my school leadership license. My next education goal is to receive a Doctorate Degree.

I believe that educators should know their students by name, strength, need, and background. I also believe that collaborating closely with parents is essential to align expectations and support strategies, ensuring that each student thrives not only academically but also personally. When teachers and parents team up, it creates a strong support system that helps students succeed in all areas of life.
