Greetings and Welcome to 2nd Grade in Room C-6!
Welcome Class of 2016-17! I'm looking forward to meeting you and to having a great year together!
This will be my 13th year of teaching and 8th year at P.V. I received a Bachelor's Degree in Economics and a Minor in Asian American Studies from U.C. Davis in 1999. Immediately after college, I joined the "Corporate World" and worked at an Investment Banking Firm in San Francisco. After 3 years of working there, I realized that my true passion was working with children, so I decided to go back to school to get my Multiple Subjects Teaching Credential and Supplementary in Science from the California State University of Sacramento. My previous teaching experiences include: teaching 5th grade at Lynwood for 1 year and 4 years of teaching in Sacramento in the 6-8th, 1st and 2nd grades.
I grew up in San Rafael and now live in San Francisco with my amazing and supportive husband, Gavin. Gavin is an attorney who co-founded his own start up company called PacerPro (www.pacerpro.com), a software technology company that provides better access to federal court records with an emphasis on case management and legal research.
Gavin and I just recently celebrated our 5th wedding anniversary with our sweet and active 3 year old daughter, Claire this past summer. She brings our little family so much joy and adventure! We are also beyond delighted to announce that our newest addition to our family, Iris Billie, arrived earlier last September. We are the luckiest people in the world and feel truly blessed everyday for Claire and Iris in our lives.
Our classroom is my second home. When I'm not here, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, traveling, consuming good food, and exploring the outdoors. I've also been blessed with 8 incredible nieces and nephews who all live nearby. I simply adore them and just can't seem to get enough time with them: Juliana (14), Jasmine (12), Tyler (9), Maddie (8),Tayden (6),Eleanor (5), Georgiana (3), and Maverick (2.5).
I look forward to spending time and learning about all of you and your wonderful families this year! I absolutely love teaching 2nd grade because of my students, and it's an extra bonus to get to work along side the most dedicated and talented group of teachers, and parents like you! Thank you P.V. families! Let's have a great year together!
