Hello! This will be my second year at Queen of All Saints. I am very excited for the school year and
can't wait to teach your son or daughter. I received my Bachelor of Arts from Sonoma State
University as a Hutchins Liberal Studies Major. I also took all my Multiple Subject Credential classes
from Sonoma State.
I was born in Concord and baptized at Queen of All Saints Church. I also attended Holy Rosary
School for 8 years. Last year I worked at Holy Rosary as their Reading Specialist. I love to read,
travel, swim, go to the beach, and do fun things with my family and friends.
I am very excited to meet all my third graders and their families.
