About Our School
It is with great pleasure that I introduce myself as the principal at Sandburg Elementary. I am excited to be part of the amazing staff, students, families and community. In my first year here, I had the opportunity to welcome many of you on our first day back to in-person learning and already saw what an amazing school we have, full of enthusiastic students, caring educators and staff, and supportive families.
I was born and raised in San Diego and began my “career” as an educator from a very young age when I volunteered in my aunt’s first grade classroom at Zamorano Elementary during school holidays. I went to UCLA where I earned my credential and Master in Education focused on Urban Schooling. After my first year of teaching in Los Angeles, I returned home to San Diego and have been an educator in San Diego Unified for 17 years. Additionally, I am now a proud mom to an enthusiastic UTK student, whom I had the honor to adopt at birth just over 4 years ago. Being a mom has put life in a different perspective for me and I now strive to ensure we have a top notch public education system that will support my son Stryker and all students that walk through our doors.
As a classroom educator, I worked hard to provide every student with what they needed to succeed and grow, not only in academics, but also socially and emotionally. I believe parents are our children’s first teacher and an integral part of our educational team. As principal at Sandburg, I look forward to being a part of the team that will ensure all students are supported and grow academically and socially.
This will be a year like no other and I know the Sandburg Team will continue to stand together and stand strong as we navigate the unknown.
Together Everyone Achieves More (TEAM),
