Staff Bio

I am a San Diego native. I grew up in the Encanto neighborhood but was a part of the school choice program, so I attended Patrick Henry High School and graduated in 2007.

This is my seventh year teaching, but my sixth year at Canyon Hills High School. I previously taught at Patrick Henry High School. Prior to teaching, I worked in local politics (my former boss is former Councilmember and news anchor Marti Emerald), which was a lot of fun!

In my spare time, I enjoy reading novels, going to the movies, hanging out with family and friends, practicing Pilates, Yoga, and/or HIIT, and binge-watching shows. I am also an amateur baker.
