SMBSD New Teacher Week 2025

Engaging students in their learning has been my professional passion for over 20 years, as a high school science teacher and administrator plus 3 more years as a TOSA. I support teachers in 1) integrating SED into any core academic subject for meaningful and relevant learning and 2) transforming teacher roles from behavior managers to community facilitators. I am a mother of three girls and I love working with teachers and students, so don't hesitate to reach out!

Bienvendidos! I am so excited to be the Visual and Performing Arts Teacher on Special Assignment for the district. I am being my 28th year as an educator with experience from first grade to adults at the university and professional level. I was an administrator for five years within this time. Project Based Learning is my passion and I love being able to give teachers the tools to creating a successful high quality PBL project!

I am excited to enter my 30th year as an educator and am looking forward to learning from all of you. I am a father of 5 and I believe that every student deserves our best effort each day.

I have over 11 years of experience working in mild/moderate and moderate/severe classrooms. I have been coaching teachers for 6 years now. My emphasis is Autism and my passion is inclusion for all.
