Greetings everyone! I absolutely love teaching at Clements — it’s such a special place to be, and I feel lucky to be part of this amazing community. Before joining Clements, I taught at the Valley Academy of Arts and Sciences, a high school in Los Angeles. I earned my Master’s in Secondary English Education and my teaching credentials from California State University, Northridge, and before that, I graduated from UCLA with a degree in English and Gender Studies. I’m passionate about literature, poetry, art, and all things education. When I’m not in the classroom or looking for new ways to grow as a teacher, I enjoy reading, hiking, watching movies, and spending time with my family.
