I have taught fifth grade for seven years. I attended Santa Clara University through a teaching program called “Excellence in Catholic Education and Leadership (ExCEL)”. There, I was immediately engulfed in the teaching world starting as a full-time homeroom teacher right off the bat, while earning my masters at the same time. Without any prior teaching experience, I was able to quickly learn the ropes and apply what I was learning in my classes right away, along with great support from my administration and colleagues. My love for teaching has grown each year and I am so blessed to be working with fifth graders here at OLGC!
