I am thrilled to extend a warm welcome to all of our Desert Willow families. As a proud graduate of UCLA and with over two decades in education, it is my pleasure to be a part of this wonderful community.
Throughout my years as an educator, I have come to cherish the joy of working with young minds. Making strong connections with students and their families is at the heart of my approach. Understanding the unique needs and aspirations of each students is vital in creating a supportive and inclusive school community. And yes, I must admit, I do have a penchant for humor - I firmly believe that laughter can create a warm and welcoming environment for learning.
My goal is to cultivate a school culture that embraces diversity and inclusivity. I believe that a sense of belonging is essential for students to truly thrive, and I work diligently to ensure that Desert Willow is a place where everyone feels welcome.
Here's to an exciting and rewarding school year ahead.

Welcome, students and families, to Desert Willow Fine Arts, Science, and Technology Magnet Academy. I am honored to have the opportunity to serve you and our community this school year and to be a part of the Diamondback family. In alignment with the Palmdale Promise, Desert Willow aims to provide a safe and enriched learning environment that provides academic and social-emotional support to all students, encourages students to build on their own cultures, languages, and strengths, and ensures all students are ready for higher levels of success.
I have been with the Palmdale School District since the 2006-2007 school year and have seen a great deal of positive changes and increased opportunities for our students and families over the years. I encourage all students to get involved in the academic and extra-curricular activities that Desert Willow offers.
I look forward to working as a team to ensure the best possible experience for all students. Together, let’s make it a great year!
