I’m currently a graduate student at UCLA’s Teacher Education Program, where I earned my Multiple Subject Teaching Credential and am completing my Master of Education. I graduated from California State Polytechnic University, Pomona in 2024 with a Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Studies.

My teaching journey is rooted in my commitment to equity and my belief that all students deserve access to high-quality, meaningful education. Through my student teaching experiences in both 1st and 5th grade, I have developed a practice grounded in three core commitments: building genuine community, treating joy as essential to learning, and centering students in everything from curriculum design to daily routines. I am especially passionate about early literacy that invites students to engage in authentic, generative thinking rather than simply rehearsing procedures.

I strive to cultivate student-centered classrooms that are inclusive, affirming, and grounded in positive relationships. I see this work as deeply connected to collaboration—I actively build strong partnerships with colleagues, families, and the broader school community, recognizing that shared responsibility is essential to student success.
