Hello Kindergarten Families!

I am so excited to be the kindergarten teacher this year and to work with this amazing group of students! This is my 2nd year at Visitation and my 2nd year working in the kindergarten classroom. I love teaching kindergarten because we can have fun while learning and I get to watch the students grow so much throughout the year. I'm looking forward to lots of fun this year with your kinders!

I was born and raised right here in Westchester and have attended Catholic school my whole life. In my free time, I enjoy spending time outside surfing, sailing, and camping, hanging out with my family, trying new recipes, and cheering on Gonzaga’s basketball team and the ACFC soccer team!

Hi Kinder Parents!

I am so excited to be a part of kindergarten this year, and I’m looking forward to an amazing year ahead! Last year, I had the privilege of working with lower elementary through LMU’s Lions for Learning Program, which truly sparked my passion for teaching. Currently I am a senior studying Psychology at Loyola Marymount University, with plans to pursue a masters degree in education and continue growing my teaching career after graduation.

I was born and raised in San Diego and began attending Catholic school in high school. When I am not teaching, I love to travel, bake, go on runs, and spend time with my friends and family. I am so happy to be here and excited for all the learning and fun the year will bring!
