I am thrilled to be returning to Roosevelt Elementary for another year! This will be my 9th year of teaching and my 2nd year in San Leandro Unified School District. I taught for the previous 7 years in Oakland, CA and Tulsa, OK. Growing up I was an avid performer and eventually pursued my passion by getting a degree in theatre arts. As an educator I believe that the social and emotional well-being of my students is of the highest importance. In my free time I enjoy playing with my daughter, Gwenivere, watching movies, volunteering at my church, and cooking for my family.
