Seattle Public Schools

I've worked in the Seattle School district for over 15 years, 3 1/2 years at McClure! I keep coming back because I love what I do; working with students, our staff, our families, that's what community is all about! Fun fact, I'm Filipino, have a huge fun family who I spend time with every chance I get and I absolutely love my culture!

I found my passion for teaching Spanish when I was living in southern Spain for a few years while attending the University of Washington. I am so excited I get to continue that passion here at McClure- this school is a beautifully strong community of amazing teachers, staff, students, and families! Outside of school I like sculpting and skating and one of my favorite foods is cheese and crackers!

I am originally from Montana and I graduated from the University of Puget Sound (go Loggers!). I love travelling because I can explore history and art in real life and so far I've been to 23 countries (top of my list to visit next is Japan). I love being at McClure, we have such a tight-knit community of teachers and families who really care about each other.
