About The Teacher

Hello!  I am so happy to have the opportunity to teach third grade this year.  Teaching sixth grade 
has been a rewarding experience, but I am looking forward to teaching third graders again!   Before 
teaching sixth grade here at Emerson for the past three years, I taught third grade for three and a 
half years in Stockton, California.  

In 2005, my family and I had the chance to move to this beautiful state, so we did.  After getting 
settled in our new home, I began to guest teach in Snohomish, and then I was offered an opportunity 
to teach sixth grade at Emerson.  That was the beginning of a wonderful experience! Emerson has 
wonderful students, parents, and staff.  There is no place I would rather be!

I received my B.A. degree, Preliminary Multiple Subjects Teaching Credential, and California's 
Professional Clear Credential from California State University, Stanislaus.  I finished my Master's in 
Education with a specialization in Integrating Technology in the Classroom during the summer of 
2008.  Currently, I am working on my Professional Teaching Certificate, which is a higher level of 
certification in Washington.

I am always looking for ways to better serve my students and their families. Your input is always 
appreciated, so please, feel free to contact me by phone, email, or in person.

I look forward to an amazing school year!

My Mission as a Teacher

My mission, as a teacher, is to provide every student with a learning 
environment in which he or she feels safe, respected, cared for, special, 
and successful. The parents and guardians of Room 2 will be provided 
with varying opportunities to support their children inside and outside our 
classroom. I will strive to teach all students problem-solving skills and 
ways to build upon their strengths. By providing Emerson students with these 
essentials everyday, I will be assisting them in their development of the 
self-esteem and confidence that is required for them to reach their goals.
