Welcome to 1st grade!  This is my 25th year of being an educator. I graduated from Kubasaki High school in Okinawa, Japan. I attended and graduated from Concordia University, in Austin with a B.S. in Education. While living in Las Vegas, I was given the opportunity to complete my Masters's Degree at UNLV in curriculum, with a focus on reading and ESL. I am certified to teach grades 1-8 with an ESL endorsement. I was honored by the faculty at Serna Elementary and named the Teacher of the Year for 2022.
