Hello Patriot Families,
It is with great honor and enthusiasm that I join this remarkable community of dedicated educators, passionate scholars, and supportive families. I firmly believe that education is a collaborative effort between teachers, parents, scholars, and the school community. I am committed to fostering this partnership to create an environment where every child can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.
Allow me to share a little about my background and vision for our beloved school. With over 17 years of experience in education, I have had the privilege of serving in various capacities, including classroom teacher, program facilitator, and vice principal. These experiences have shaped my belief in the transformative power of education and instilled in me a profound commitment to creating an inclusive, innovative, and student-centered learning environment.
My educational philosophy revolves around the idea that each child is a unique individual with their own set of talents, interests, and potential waiting to be unlocked. Therefore, it is my firm belief that our school should provide a safe, nurturing, and inspiring space where students are encouraged to explore their passions, take risks, and develop a lifelong love for learning.
At Dominguez Elementary, we will strive for excellence in both academic achievement and character development. We will endeavor to foster critical thinking skills, creativity, collaboration, and effective communication, empowering our students to become independent thinkers and responsible citizens.
I am committed to creating a positive school culture where everyone feels valued, respected, and supported. I believe in fostering a sense of belonging and promoting social-emotional well-being as crucial components of a child's holistic development. Together, we will work towards building strong relationships among students, staff, and families, celebrating diversity, and promoting empathy and kindness.
