Hi Everyone! I am so excited to have you in my class. I am anxious to meet everyone and to have an exciting year of learning. I received my Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education from Western Governors University. I loved the school and program so much that I went back and received my Masters in Education, focusing in Learning and Technology. This is my fourth year teaching at PRIDE Academy.
I am originally from Virginia, but my family has lived in San Diego for six years. We love living in beautiful San Diego and love calling it home! My family is very active so during the summer you can almost always find my family paddle boarding in the Bay or playing at the pool. During the cooler months, we enjoy hiking and visiting our local mountains. My family includes my husband, Mr. Larkin, Noah (13 years), Mia (11 years), and our sweet, but energetic chocolate lab, Rex. Noah plays lacrosse and soccer and Mia is active in music lessons which keep our weekends full during normal sport seasons.
When I am not at a sports event or spending time outside, you might find me with a huge cup of coffee while walking through Target. I am currently training for a marathon, so much of my free time is spent running. I am excited to train and work toward a goal. Creatively, I love to knit and woodwork.
