Presidio Hill School offers students opportunities to develop personal learning styles through independent and collaborative work that is child-centered and project-based. Students are encouraged to apply their knowledge beyond the classroom setting. It is an honor to work at a school that truly lives out its mission.

Coming from an immigrant family of refugees, education has truly saved my life in many ways. Knowledge can not only pull people out of hardship, yet provide them with the resources and tools necessary to become a self-sufficient, well-rounded member of society. I believe in project-based, holistic education which I have found here at PHS; the entire community is involved in the well-being of the students' minds and hearts. After school programs are an opportunity for students to see that education is something not just in common core classrooms but in everything in life; learning is what makes us human. As an educator I love helping my students overcome insecurities; seeing a kid shine on stage or in front of the classroom is what makes me love my job as well as devote myself to teaching as passionately as I do. I feel very honored to use my imagination and creativity at PHS where the students can truly be themselves.

After a career in hospitality management, I came to PHS searching for a more community oriented environment, with the idea that I may want to pursue teaching. I found that I greatly admired the energy, commitment and creativity that I saw in our teachers each day. I quickly determined that teaching wasn't the right path for me, but have greatly enjoyed my various support positions at PHS for the past decade plus.
