Meet our staff!
We offer a low student to teacher ratio which allows us to emphasize the importance of giving each child individual one on one work time. Work time focuses mainly consists of manual skill building, shapes, colors, numbers, letters, phonics and pre-reading. Our purpose is for each child to be happy and to excite them when it comes to learning about life.

I was born and raised in San Jose. I have five brothers and one sister. When I am not working in the classroom, I enjoy spending every minute with my two sons and family. In 2012, I graduated from San Jose State University with a Bachelor’s Degree in Childhood Adolescent Development, minor in Psychology. Previously, I completed my Early Childhood Education curriculum at West Valley College. Also, I currently have a Site Supervisor Permit. In the future, I hope to pursue a teaching credential program, as well as a Master’s Degree, at SJSU. I love working with kids, they bring you along with them on adventures whether it be in the backyard or reading a book. I am passionate about expanding students’ knowledge and always striving to create a sense of community to connect with each student.

I grew up in San Jose, moving to Campbell/Los Gatos for high school. I currently attend West Valley aiming towards an associates degree for Early Childhood Education. I have been working at LGAP since 2017 and I have loved every minute of it. When I am not working with the little ones, I'm taking care of my many houseplants or hanging out with my pets! I enjoy reading, drawing/painting, and taking part in different DIY projects at home. I hope to bring my enjoyment of the arts and sciences to the classroom to share with my students. It brings me pride to be able to create a space that the children can comfortably and safely expand their knowledge as they grow. I hope to help your children develop confidence in themselves and their academic potential.
