Biography

I am a dedicated educator passionate about shaping young minds and guiding future teachers. I hold a Master's Degree in Education from Pacific Oaks College and a Bachelor of Arts from California State University, Fresno. I have spent nearly ten years working in the field of special education. Currently, I serve as a Special Education Teacher at a small elementary school near Fresno, California. My commitment to supporting diverse learners has made me a trusted mentor to prospective teachers, providing valuable insight into the rewards and challenges of the profession.

In addition to my extensive classroom experience, I am a certified Reading Specialist and STEM Educator, combining literacy and innovation to create engaging learning experiences. I believe strongly in the power of education to transform lives, and I take pride in inspiring both my students and the next generation of educators to reach their fullest potential.
