Get to Know Ms. Beth

I was born and raised in San Diego, California. As a first generation Latina, I am the first in my family to obtain a degree in higher education including a bachelor's in Liberal Studies with a minor in Education. With a desire to learn more about teaching, I am now onto obtaining my Masters of Education (M.Ed) in Teaching and Learning from High Tech High's Graduate School of Education. I dream of, someday, earning a doctorate in Education (Ed.D) and becoming an instructional coach to support new teachers as they transition into the field and provide targeted instructional support to students. 

Led by my passion and love for working with children, I was brought to High Tech Elementary in Point Loma to support students through my position as a 1:1 aide and academic coach. Inspired by the passionate and hardworking teachers I worked with, I chose to take the first step to become a teacher. Since then, I've been honored to teach in first and third grade at High Tech Elementary in Point Loma. 

In my free time, I love spending time with family, reading, and trying new places to eat. I, also, enjoy creating Lego sculptures and solving puzzles.
