Welcome!
Welcome to Holy Angels School! I am honored to be part of this incredible community, where faith, family, and education are woven together.  At Holy Angels, we are more than just a school—we are a family. Our community is filled with dedicated teachers, engaged parents, and enthusiastic students who all work together to foster a warm and welcoming atmosphere.
Whether you are a returning family or new to Holy Angels, you will quickly feel the sense of belonging that defines our school. Here, every child is known, loved, and supported, and every family is an integral part of our community. Our commitment to nurturing both the academic and spiritual growth of our students is at the heart of everything we do. I look forward to partnering with you to continue the proud tradition of excellence that makes Holy Angels such a special place.
 
Education and Professional Background
My educational journey began earning a Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Studies from California Lutheran University, laying a strong foundation for the future. I continued my studies at Pepperdine University, where I earned both a Master of Arts in Education and a Multiple Subject Teaching Credential, equipping me with the tools to inspire and educate across various grade levels. My commitment to Catholic education was further strengthened by earning a Catholic School Administrative Certificate from Loyola Marymount University, preparing me to lead with faith and integrity.
Since 2006, I have been dedicated to the mission of Catholic education at St. Mel School, where I taught across various elementary grade levels. In 2022, I transitioned into administration, bringing my experience and passion for teaching into leadership roles to serve our students and community in a different capacity. 
 
Educational Philosophy
I believe that education is more than just imparting knowledge—it's about inspiring each student to discover their unique potential. Guided by our Catholic faith, I strive to create an environment where students feel valued, supported, and encouraged to let their light shine in all aspects of their lives. Education should nurture the mind, heart, and spirit, and I am committed to fostering a community where each child can grow and thrive in faith and academics.
