Non Classroom Instructors
I am very excited and privileged to start my 3rd year at Live Oak. I have 10+ years of experience teaching art at various after school programs around Windemere. Teaching art to young kids is my passion. I am creative, energetic and enjoy working with kids. One of the most satisfying parts of teaching is to watch my students explore and discover their own artistic abilities, ideas and talent. I love to show my students how to bring out the best in themselves and believe in themselves. I have displayed my artworks in various galleries in and around San Ramon.
I live in San Ramon with my husband and 2 kids.
Looking forward for an ARTISTIC year at Live Oak!!!

and the one Who Tells the Story
I have been a speech-language pathologist (SLP) at Live Oak Elementary since Fall 2010. I provide speech and language assessment and services to children who are in preschool through fifth grade. Prior to becoming an SLP, I had a different career in software development and support at Hewlett Packard and Agilent Technologies. Being an SLP is my passion and I love being a golden eagle.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family, reading, running, playing soccer, watching the Golden State Warriors, and watching my high school boys play sports.
Hello students and families! I am very happy to be joining the Live Oak Community. I provide psycho-educational assessments, counseling, and consultation services. I have been working as a school psychologist for 15 years and enjoy being a part of school teams that help students soar. I have had extensive experience working in a counseling enriched program that focused on enhancing student emotional health. When I am not keeping busy with supporting school communities, I enjoy reading, camping, singing, swimming, watching documentaries, and spending time with family and friends.
I am excited to be a part of the Live Oak Team! This is the start of my third school year with SRVUSD. I have been in teaching since 1993 and have taught everything from Resource, SDC, to regular education and even homeschooled for a few years. My husband, three children and I moved to California in 2009 from New Jersey. When I am not in the classroom I can be found poolside officiating either a High School or USA Swim Meet. I also volunteer with my local Girl Scout Service Unit as a troop leader and I am the Head Cook for a volunteer run Girl Scout resident summer camp. I love to read a good book, enjoy a good meal with friends and family, and also love a good Netflix binge.
Hello Golden Eagles, this is my sixth year at Live Oak and twelfth year in our school district. I love working with the students, and when I’m not in school I like to cook, listen to music, and host parties for my friends. I’m excited to start a brand new school year and feel honored to be part of such a passionate and dedicated community!
