I came to Chico in 2003 to study art at Chico State and never left! I hold both an Art and a Multiple-Subject credential, and completed my M.Ed. in 2023 with an emphasis in curriculum and instruction. I bring to CCDS my experience teaching visual art, ceramics, graphic design, yearbook, theatre, and independent study. Off-campus, I'm actively involved in the arts and music community. At home, I'm an avid gardener, yogi, ceramicist, mom of two amazing kiddos, and bandmate/wife.

Hello CCDS Families! I was born and raised in Fair Oaks, California, and moved to Chico in 2017 and later received my bachelor's degree in Child Development from Chico State in 2021.

My journey at Chico Country Day began as an ASP aide in 2019, and then a few years later, in 2021, I was promoted to ASP Assistant Coordinator.

In my free time, I enjoy reading, doing puzzles, and singing at the top of my lungs. A few of my favorite things are my fifteen-year-old cat, the color pink, and frogs. A fun fact about me is that I was born on Christmas Eve.
