Who is Mrs. M?
(formally Ms. A)
I was born and raised in San Diego all of my life! I come from a strong family of four and I have a younger sister. My husband and I have 2 sons and 2 furbaby dachshunds named Gizmo and Opal. We recently welcomed our newest addition in 2022, our son, Kamea. We absolutely love to go to Disneyland (it is my second home)! My favorite colors are pink and green. During the summer you can find me at the beaches.
I have been involved in the arts most of my life and I strongly believe that everyone should participate in the arts. Art is a fantastic way to express one's emotions, beliefs, and ideas. In my classroom I want to integrate the arts into my curriculum and create an environment where all students feel free to express themselves. My art background includes: choir (4 years), dance -- ballet, modern, hip-hop (8+ yrs), and studio art -- drawing, painting, furniture, ceramics, photography (9+ yrs.).

College: San Diego State University
--> Graduated 2009 with a Bachelor's Degree (BA) in Liberal Studies Education with an Emphasis in Elementary Visual Arts
--->Graduated 2010 with a Teaching Credential in Multiple Subjects for Elementary School.
