Hello Palomar Community,
I am so excited to join the Child Development and Education teaching team! My journey in Early Childhood Education began in 2007. I was working as an assistant teacher in a small family-owned program in Escondido while continuing to take Child Development courses here at Palomar. My experience includes working as a lead teacher and later gained experience working with multiple school districts, a city program, and eventually returned to Palomar as a Site Supervisor for the ECE Lab School—a role I’ve proudly held since 2017. Supporting families, children, and staff as they grow and learn has been one of the most rewarding parts of my career.
In 2010, I earned my Associate of Arts (AA) in Liberal Studies from Palomar College and transferred to California State University San Marcos, where I received my Bachelor of Arts (BA) in Human Development with an emphasis in Children’s Services in 2012. After a short break, I went on to complete my Master of Arts (MA) in Early Childhood Education in 2014 at Pacific Oaks College. Following my MA, I gained valuable experience as a student teacher at Miramar Community College, co-teaching night classes, before focusing on my transition into supervisory roles. Returning to Palomar as Site Supervisor renewed my passion for teaching at the college level, and I’m thrilled to now share that passion with students in the classroom.
Beyond the world of ECE, I’ve been married to my husband, Jose, since 2011, and together we have a wonderful daughter who keeps us both busy and entertained. As a family, we love to travel, especially on road trips, and have set a goal of visiting all 50 states. We also enjoy off-roading in the desert and camping whenever we get the chance.
I look forward to connecting with all of you and sharing both my educational journey and real-world experiences as we work together in the CHDV program.
