Work Experience:
This upcoming school year will be my fifth year of teaching Second Grade! Right before I landed in second grade, I substituted in multiple school districts in El Dorado County as well as in Eureka and Roseville District. For my student teaching experience, I had the unforgettable opportunity to work at the International School of Como in Fino Mornasco, Italy in the fall and winter of 2018. I also participated in a volunteer internship at a local Ecuadorian Spanish speaking school during my time studying abroad in South America. In the summer of 2018, I taught art, science, and physical education for a TK - Kindergarten combo class at an innovation summer program, called Galileo Innovation Camps for Kids. During some summers, I taught swimming lessons through the Placerville Recreation Department for four years, which was a complete joy! For the past two school years, I taught second grade here at CIS!  I’m looking forward to my next second grade class in the 2024-2025 school year!

Personal:
In my spare time I love to hike, indoor rock climb, paddle board, swim, and spend time at the beach or the lake with my husband Andrew, my family, and friends. I also love to spend time with my two bunnies Cinnabun and Moose! I am passionate about learning about other cultures and countries, traveling, and going on local adventures in beautiful California!
