I have been teaching P.E. at Carrillo for 13 years now, and it truly is my dream job.   I love sharing my passion for health, fitness, and movement with so many awesome young people every day!  

 I graduated from Cal State San Marcos in 2009 with a multiple subject teaching credential and thought I would go directly into my own elementary classroom.  My plans changed when I was offered a P.E. position at Carrillo.  I took the job, loved it, and decided to get my single subject teaching credential in Physical Education.  Since then, I have been able to develop a unique, standards based P.E. program that challenges students and motivates them to do their personal best.  I love watching my students set and accomplish their goals!  

P.E. is my passion, and I strive to stay up to date with the latest teaching practices, so I am constantly participating in professional development and seeking out opportunities to learn and grow in my field.  Most recently, I  completed the Physical Education Leadership Academy through the San Diego County Office of Education, and became a Physical Education Leader.   I also worked to  design curriculum for the SDCOE physical education website: https://fit2learn.sdcoe.net/

Personally, I enjoy a super active lifestyle.  Cycling, hiking, weight training, yoga, walking my dogs... anything that gets me outside and moving.  Some more of my favorite things are sunsets at the beach with my family, off roading in our Jeep, eating tacos, going to concerts and watching sports. 😎
