"Hello! I have been teaching at SAC since 2020. The first half of my career I spent teaching kids in early childhood education and school age programs. I was the Director of Child Development Services for 8 years at the Brea Olinda Unified School District, and the Director of Early and Expanded Learning for the Orange County Department of Education for two years. Now I get the amazing opportunity to teach students at SAC who will one day work children, families, and communities. When I am not teaching, I am hanging out with my four kids. We enjoy going to Disney (we are Magic Key holders!), watching movies, and going on trips."
