Teaching style
As an educator, my goal is to create culturally relevant learning experiences that inspire students to become lifelong learners. I use project-based learning to foster an interactive environment where risk-taking is encouraged as part of the learning process. In my classroom, curiosity is not only valued but also nurtured through hands-on experimentation and discovery. I believe that strong learning experiences come from having a well-organized space and routines that support the needs of diverse learners. I’m also passionate about helping students grow by building a strong classroom community and encouraging continuous reflection and goal setting.
My own education history
My educational background has been key to shaping my approach as both a teacher and a leader. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Business Management from San Diego State University and a Master of Education in Cross-cultural Teaching from National University, San Diego, where I developed my passion for creating inclusive, culturally relevant learning experiences. I also earned a Certificate in School Management and Leadership from the Harvard Graduate School of Education and Harvard Business School, which has been instrumental in helping me grow as an educational leader. Additionally, I hold a Multiple Subject Teacher Credential from the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing and a Standard Teaching License in Elementary Education K-6 from the Hawai'i Teachers Standards Board, allowing me to work with a wide range of students across different grade levels. These experiences have all played a role in shaping my commitment to supporting both students and educators through meaningful, collaborative work.
