I am a fourth grade teacher at Laguna Road Elementary School. A learner at heart, and feel passionate about advocating for all students through  student-centered learning and building a culture of dialogue in the classroom.  I also feel passionate about Socio-Emotional Learning (SEL) and cultivating meaningful relationships to take risks and learn from our mistakes. I love good food, coffee dates, writing, and listening to Korean R&B music. In my spare time, you will also find me taking walks to the park or sitting on the beach with my family. This is my 14th year as an educator in K-5 classrooms. I received my M.Ed. at University of California Los Angeles, and my Bachelors degree at University of California, Riverside.
