I am a true Aztec for Life. I grew up going to SDSU basketball games with my family and visiting my mom who works on campus. In my free time I enjoy taking walks with my family, game nights with friends, reading, crocheting, and exploring nature at the National Parks. 

When I started working as a teacher I was on a different career path but, after a year of teaching I fell in love with the field of early childhood education and the tiny humans I was interacting with everyday. I have worked at the SDSU Children's Center since 2017 when I started as an Assistant Teacher. I have a B.S. in Child & Family Development and a B.S. in Recreation & Tourism Management from SDSU. I am currently working towards my Master's in Child Development and graduating in May of 2023. 

A unique part of my story is that I attended the SDSU Children’s Center as a child and I am an alumni of the program. I have fond memories of playing out at Memory Park and Ms. Lee Ann, the preschool west supervising teacher, who was my teacher once upon a time. I hope to build similar memories for your children that they can take with them as they grow and flourish into incredible people.
