I graduated from the University of Stockton, and have been teaching ever since. I grew up in the Catholic School system and am raising my children in the St. Ignatius Parish. I taught Preschool first, then did a few years of virtual teaching so I could stay home with my three kids (Jude 9, Nora 7, Owen 5), and eventually found my home in Kindergarten. I believe in embracing the development of children through various learning methods and maintaining active communication with families. Furthermore, I believe that play is critical for children at this age, and we incorporate a lot of educational games throughout our day!
