San Diego County Office Of Education
Early Education Quality Rater/Trainer
I serve as an Early Education Quality Rater/Trainer with the San Diego County Office of Education. Prior to this, I served as an Early Education Support Provider, coaching preschool teachers in San Diego County through the Quality Preschool Initiative for four years. My previous experience as a teacher and administrator included work in Infant/Toddler classrooms as well as young preschool and PreK classrooms, in programs ranging from university-based to parent cooperatives. I hold a BA in Psychology (Applied Developmental Psychology minor) from UCLA, and a MA in Early Childhood Education from Loyola Marymount University. I have one toddler-age child and one four year old child in his last year of preschool! Our family also includes my partner (married five years) and a dog named Arwen, adopted in Chicago.
