My professional background ranges from developing internal procedures to working with financial institutions to liaising with internal and external stakeholders. I’ve had the opportunity to work in higher education as well as the private sector. I enjoy working at SVA and supporting the wonderful staff we have in the building!

I interact with both staff and families in various aspects. My responsibilities include tuition billing for preschool/BASE/Beyond the Bell, student fees billing for K-12 grades, accounts payable, and purchasing, among other operational tasks. I process the Free and Reduced Lunch Program letters and work with K-12 families who request to be placed on a payment plan for registration/course fees.

My kids both attend SVA, which is a big year for our family, as my oldest starts high school and my youngest completes his last year in elementary. My daughter started preschool at SVA in August 2012, and we have been so happy here! A fun fact about me is that I am a native Portuguese speaker.

Year Started at SVA: Started in Business Office in 2019. Started subbing in 2016-17.

We have lived in many places with our two daughters and have most recently moved from the Seattle area, where I was a freelance writer and substitute teacher. I grew up in East Africa, where I developed a love for different cultures and travel. My favorite thing to do is explore international locations with my family, making sure to eat all the local delicacies. When we can't visit other countries, I enjoy being in the mountains or in my yard soaking up the flowers and spending time creating and experiencing community.
