Executive Director Information

I graduated San Jose State University as a first-generation student in 2013 with my BA in Child Development. Shortly after I began my career as a Preschool Teacher in San Jose. I was offered the opportunity to work with Turlock Unified School District (TUSD) as a Head Start Teacher soon after moving. A year later, I moved to Stockton Unified School District (SUSD) as a Head Start Teacher to be closer to home. I remained in SUSD for 4 years, then received a promotion to work for San Joaquin Office of Education (SJCOE) in the Head Start Department as a Teacher Coach for Early Childhood Educators all over San Joaquin County. When I began working with SJCOE, I decided to pursue my master’s degree in Early Childhood Education with an emphasis in Special Education through University of Massachusetts.

I am beyond enthusiastic to get to know each House of Tykes families. My goal for this school is to continue to provide high quality care for children. In addition to, I want to ensure that children are considered to be school ready in all aspects of development. I am a firm believer that children learn through play and House of Tykes will continue to provide those experiences for children. I have no doubt that the children and families will feel embraced, safe, and happy while in our care.
