Director of Professional Learning & Development
I began my education career at UCR earning my Bachelor’s, Master’s, and Professional Clear Teaching Credential. I also received my GATE certificate at the UCR Extension. After college, I taught 5th and 6th grade in the Jurupa Unified School District. I loved working with the staff at my site and was actually referred to Springs Charter Schools by a fellow teacher. From my first trainings in Homeschool, I knew that I was here to stay. I fell in love with Homeschool methodology and curriculum right away and am currently also enjoying homeschooling my two children; 3rd and 2nd grade. I look forward to growing as an educator and helping Springs Charter Schools transition to the Common Core in my new role as Curriculum Specialist.

Ling 120 Fascinating! I can diagram sentences all day!
I like to read my magazines from the back cover to the front cover first, then enjoy the articles that grab my attention.
