As a longtime resident of the Inland Empire, I've called Menifee home since 2019. I am a dedicated educator with a passion for helping students succeed. I began my journey in education four years ago, working as a substitute and teacher for VVUSD, where I had the opportunity to work with students in grades 2-8. After completing my teaching internship at Columbia Elementary in 2024, I earned my Multiple Subject Preliminary Credential. I am currently in my second year of induction, clearing my credential, and working toward a Master's Degree in Education. I am also pursuing a single-subject credential in mathematics to further expand my skills and expertise.

Before transitioning to education, I spent over two decades in the automotive industry, eventually becoming a Regional Manager for Southern California with additional responsibilities for nationwide quality control. Outside of the classroom, I'm a proud father of four children. I've also been coaching flag football for seven years, working with kids from kindergarten through eighth grade. I believe my diverse background and commitment to continuous learning allow me to connect with students on multiple levels and create an engaging learning environment.
