I was born and raise in Saigon, Vietnam. I immigrated to the United States with my parents and older brother when I was 13 years old. We moved to Dixon in 2004 and felt in love with this town ever since. I’ve earned two A.A degrees in social and behavioral studies, an A.S degree in Dental Hygiene (Sacramento City College), a B.S degree in Human Development (UC Davis), a Multiple Subject Teaching Credential (UC Davis School of Education). I am currently working on a Master’s degree in Education emphasizing on teaching elementary students to master academic language in reading and writing informational texts. This is my first year teaching at Dixon Montessori, and I am excited to be a team member of all the wonderful teachers and staff at this school. Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to be a part of your child’s education. I am very passionate about teaching and learning.
English is my second language, and I had many first-hand experiences in struggling with it. Therefore, I am very in tune with the struggles many children have in this aspect of their education. I strongly believe that all children can learn and overcome challenges to become sophisticated readers when given the right individualized educational tools/approaches, patience, and compassion from the adults in their lives. Alongside with the general education teachers, I am here to guide and help all children gaining confidence and efficiency in reading.
Besides school and work, I enjoy reading, traveling, gardening, and photography. I have been to 29 countries in the world, and I am planning to visit more places in the near future. I also love animals. I have had a total of 2 cats and 3 dogs. Those are some pictures of them :)
