About Me

My objective is to provide my students with the necessary 21st century skills of collaboration, critical thinking, and creativity that will lead to the development of a growth mindset that is essential to be academically successful. In the process, I want to develop a culturally responsive classroom promoting equity, inclusivity, relevancy, and students' funds of knowledge. Meeting my students Social Emotional Learning to develop their self – efficacy, self – management, and social awareness is a priority in my classroom. My goal is to make sure to address students' academic and social needs to be able to accelerate student achievement.

I am the proud product of LAUSD, graduating from the College Prep MAGNET program at Banning High School. I then earned by Bachelors Degree in Physiological Science with an emphasis in Neuroscience and Cardiology and a minor in Biophysics from UCLA. I then attended the USC Keck School of Medicine. I soon realized that teaching was my true passion and earned both my mathematics and science credentials from CSUDH as well as my masters in education and curriculum and instruction.

This will be my fourteenth year teaching at Fleming Middle School.

I am the proud coordinator of our nationally recognized AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination) college prep program as well as the Dual Enrollment coordinator, leading the partnership we have with Los Angeles Community College for our students to take college classes for free here at Fleming!
