As a lifelong resident of Bakersfield, I have dedicated my career to serving the students in the Fairfax community. I began my journey with the Fairfax School District in 2002, teaching 6th grade at Fairfax School and 1st grade at Virginia Avenue Elementary. With a BA in Liberal Studies and a Master’s in Educational Leadership, I transitioned into administration in 2012. Now, as the administrator of Expanded Learning, I oversee the after-school program, sports, clubs, camps, summer school, migrant education, and achievers programs. My focus is on creating meaningful experiences that foster academic, social, and emotional development, ensuring we deliver high-quality, engaging programs that meet the needs of every student.
