Current position at St. Serra: Instructional Assistant in Kindergarten

Years at St. Serra: Currently in her first year

What she enjoys most: “The students and staff at St. Serra!”

Teaching is in Her Blood

“I grew up in Mission Viejo, graduated from Trabuco Hills High School, and went to Vanguard University. I am currently taking ECE classes with the goal to eventually earn my teaching credential. Before working at St. Serra my mom, sister and I owned a dance studio, where I was the youth director specializing in the curriculum for, and teaching of, our youngest students. I have taken my experience working with youth over the last two decades into my role at St. Serra by motivating [students] to reach their goals in a fun, creative and nurturing way.”

Life Outside of St. Serra

“I have been married for 18 years to my husband, Ryan. We have an 9-year-old daughter who is in fourth grade, loves Jiu-Jitsu, and enjoys being the goalkeeper for her soccer team. We attend Saint Kilian's and have two German Shepard dogs, Lady and Ada. In my free time I like to knit, read books, and watch my favorite sport, soccer (GO Manchester United!). As a family we enjoy going to musicals and spending time at the beach or lake.”
