I have been teaching now for 20 years and think that Oak School is the
finest school there is. It is also the best kept secret in Los Altos. We have
awesome kids, a superb staff, and supportive parents. I have taught every age
from preschool to 6th grade, but third graders are outstanding!
My son Nic and daughter Katie are Oak alumni so I have been around
Oak for a long time. I enjoy gardening, golfing, tapping, traveling with Mr. Tjader, and
spending time with my family and friends.

All children have the right to a quality education regardless of
learning, emotional, or physical disabilities. We as educators are
partners in their education, along with the family and community.
Children need high expectations and will rise to meet them. Teaching
life skills is as important as academic skills. Being an educator is a
life long learning experience with a continuous search for knowledge,
self-awareness, and refinement. This quest will enable our students
and us to keep up with the changing global village.
