Welcome! 

With over 20 years of teaching experience and a strong academic foundation in education and liberal studies, I’ve devoted my career to creating nurturing, engaging, and academically rich learning environments. For the past eight years, I’ve been part of the Chamlian Armenian School community, where I lead the third-grade team and collaborate with colleagues to support student growth and success. My journey in education—supported by specialized credentials in reading and instruction—has shaped a dynamic, student-centered approach that reaches learners across multiple grade levels and fosters a lifelong love of learning.

- M.A. in Education from California State University, Los Angeles.
- B.A. in Liberal Studies (Emphasis in English) from California State University, Long Beach.
- Multiple Subject Teaching Credential and Reading Credential from California State Universities in Long Beach and Los Angeles, respectively.

Work Experience:

- Third Grade Teacher (2017 - Today): Leading a classroom where curiosity meets discovery, shaping young learners into confident individuals.
- Fourth Grade Teacher (2006 – 2017): Facilitated a learning environment that encouraged creative thinking and problem-solving.
- Kindergarten English Teacher (2006 – 2012): Introduced the basics of English language arts, planting the seeds for a love of reading and learning.
- Substitute Teacher (2004 – 2006): Gained versatile teaching experience across various grades, adapting to different classroom settings and student needs.

Interests/Hobbies:

My personal interests include reading, traveling, and creating new memories, hobbies that not only enrich my life but also inspire my teaching. Each opportunity to explore new places or stories fuels my passion for bringing diverse perspectives and experiences into the classroom.

Philosophy:

Inspired by the words of Michelle L. Graham, "What greater joy can a teacher feel than to witness a child’s success?" I am committed to guiding each of my students towards their personal and academic achievements, celebrating every milestone along the way.
