Welcome to my page. This is my 13th year teaching, my 10th year at Sommer Elementary. I am married to Jairo, who is from the Dominican Republic. I do speak Spanish and continue to improve by practicing Spanish with my husband. We have a daughter, Brielle, who is two years old. My sister inspired me to become a teacher because I saw her struggles in school as a student with a mild cognitive disability, and I wanted to help students who faced similar challenges. All students can learn! I love teaching and watching students come alive when they learn something new, are excited about their learning, or reach a goal they have been working for.
