Over the years, she has also served the school community as a 3rd grade teacher, 8th grade teacher, middle school English language arts teacher, Academic Decathlon coach, Student Council moderator, STAR Testing Coordinator, and principal.

Ms. Sanchez earned a Bachelor’s degree in Liberal Studies with a concentration in Mathematics and a Master’s degree in Child and Adolescent Literacy from Loyola Marymount University. She also holds a California Multiple Subject Clear Credential and a California Reading Certificate.

As a product of Catholic education, Ms. Sanchez is passionate about fostering a faith-filled learning environment that nurtures the whole child. She values the opportunity to share in conversations about the Catholic faith with her students and treasures being able to pray with them and celebrate the Sacraments as a school community.

Outside the classroom, Ms. Sanchez enjoys baking treats for family and friends—and occasionally for her students as well. She also loves traveling, spending time with loved ones, and golfing.
