Hello Washington Families,

I am immensely proud and honored to serve as your interim principal this year. With over 30 years as an educator in the Santa Ana Unified School District, it is a dream come true to step into this role and serve the Washington community.

My professional background includes:

  • Serving as interim principal at Pío Pico Dual Language Academy.
  • Serving as assistant principal at Madison Elementary.
  • Working as an instructional coach here at Washington Elementary from 2019-2021.
  • Teaching grades 2-5 and 7-8, and working as a district ELD and literacy coach across all grade levels (TK-12).

My connection to SAUSD runs deep. Not only have I dedicated my career to this district, but I am also a proud product of its schools. I attended McFadden Intermediate and Saddleback High School in the eighties. I even used to live in the Washington neighborhood on Birch Street, and my little sisters attended Washington Elementary many years ago.

I know the dedication our teachers and staff members demonstrate because I’ve been immersed in SAUSD since 7th grade. Thanks to the help of wonderful teachers and staff, I earned a full ride scholarship to the university of my choice and I feel very fortunate to have the opportunity to pay it forward to the SAUSD community each day.

My goal is to collaborate with all of you wonderful community members, terrific parents, and remarkable fellow educators to create a supportive haven full of opportunities for every child we have the fortune to teach and support at Washington Elementary.
