I am originally from Los Angeles, CA and moved to Minnesota in 2013.  I started as a paraprofessional at the Truman school that next school year.  Since then I have received my masters degree in special education from St. Mary’s University of MN,  with licenses in Emotional Behavior Disorder (EBD), Learning Disabilities (LD), and Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD).  I am very happy to be back at Truman working as the Title One teacher and Language Arts 9 teacher. I also hold a Bachelor's degree in Technical Management.

In my free time, I like to spend time with my family: my husband, my daughter, our English Bulldog Buttercup, and our cat Olive.  I also enjoy fishing, camping, crafting, and reading.
