A Message From the Teacher
years. I attended UC SanDiego, where I earned a B.A. in Child Psychology and I have minors in Biology and Japanese History. After graduating, I lived in Japan for one year where I taught English to Middle School students. I returned from Japan and went back to get my Multiple Subject C.L.A.D. Teaching Credential and a Master’s Degree in Administration. I then taught first grade in Torrance for 6 years and have been teaching kindergarten in Manhattan Beach ever since. I am an animal lover and have many pets, including Emily the dog, Nikki the cat, Cody the horse, and Big Red the Betta fish (named after Justin Turner). My pets make occasionally guest appearances in some of my lessons! You might see me riding Cody on the trails out in Palos Verdes - it's my favorite way to relax! I am also a huge Dodger fan! Go Blue!
I can't wait to learn all about the students in my class! This is going to be a great year!
