About The Teacher

 
Hello everyone! I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Spanish from 
Mount St. Mary's College in Los Angeles. I received my teaching credential 
from National University, and later received a Master's degree in Education 
from the University of Phoenix in 2001.  In 2005 I became a National Board 
Certified Teacher. 

I am happy to be at Fenton, and look forward to many new and fun educational 
adventures ahead. I recently moved and now reside in Moorpark with my 
family.  The newest addition to our household is a puppy that we 
adopted named "Lexi" who is about 4 months old.  She needed a good home and 
is happily adjusting to her new backyard.

In my spare time I like to travel,read,exercise,and watch movies with my 
family.

		
			
Teaching Philosophy
		
			
 
I believe that all children can become life-long learners.  If they develop 
a love for learning at an early age, that love will continue to grow as they 
do. Our classroom represents a safe environment where children can learn and 
explore, given the right tools.  Through the use of projects, hands-on 
activities, cooperative learning strategies, and technology integration, I 
will strive to do my best to see that all children are provided with a fun 
and stimulating learning environment where each child can be 
successful.
