Hello Grizzlies! I'm very excited to serve as your Vice Principal. I'm consistently focused on developing the whole student academically and personally. Building positive relationships and developing a strong community within our school and neighborhood is what I'm about. If you see me around campus, don't hesitate to say hello and introduce yourself. Or if you have a chance, please drop-in for a quick chat. I'm really looking forward to a wonderful school year as you experience your high school chapter of life. Let's work together to make it a great one!

 

I earned my Bachelor's Degree in Sociology with a minor in Black Studies from UC Santa Barbara, and my Master's Degree in Education from Azusa Pacific University.  I have a demonstrated professional history of working in secondary education as a fully credentialed Math teacher for 8+ years. My career in education began in Southern California, and I'm thrilled to now be a part of our Northern California community.  My upbringing as a first generation individual was a big part of my growth and achievements. In my spare time I enjoy being with family, going to the gym, walking alongside the beach, and traveling as much as possible.

 

I'm very excited to be a part of the Jefferson community.  We value every individual in our school community from students, parents, staff, and faculty. Please reach out to me if you have any questions.
