and an American Navy man. I came to the United States for the
first time with my Mom, Dad, and sister Angela in 1971 to sunny
San Diego, CA. My sister Tina was born in Portsmouth, NH in
1976. I lived in the following places with my family; CA, NH, ME,
MD and Guam. I spoke no English when I arrived to the U.S.

Philosophy of Teaching and Learning






Education means introducing a child’s mind to the
wonders of learning through new experiences and skills
in a safe and nurturing environment.
I am committed to spending many hours beyond the
classroom schedule to meet my student’s educational
and social goals.
I am committed to establishing a mutual working
relationship based on honesty and trust with parents,
guardians, staff, and Administrators in order to further
my students’ social and academic growth.
I will at all times emphasize and model to my students
what acceptable behavior looks like, so that they may
learn the importance of making the right choices.
I believe great teachers never stop learning and are
continually seeking ways to improve or enhance their
style of teaching for the betterment of their students.
The most important thing I believe in, above all else is
“students don’t care what you know, until they know
you care”.
