Meet Kiki
Hey there! I’m Kiki, a third-grade bilingual teacher, wife, proud mom to a baby boy, and dog mama. I’ve also worn many other hats in my education career – instructional coach, mentor, advocate, and school board member, and more!
I’m passionate about education and fighting for social justice. I believe that finding joy in both the small and big moments of every day is crucial to staying inspired and motivated as a teacher. That’s why I’m so excited to share my personal journey with you and offer tools and resources to help you find joy in your own life and work.

What Teachers are Saying
“My students loved using the SMART goals resource! I was able to talk to them about goals that were based on specific academics. We used this as a guide for each trimester. Students were excited to see growth each trimester and see if they were able to meet their goal. If they didn’t meet we discussed how we could improve.“

“I made a standards data binder using the Common Core math and reading tracker since our county is going to Standards Based Report Cards this year. This data tracker is just what I needed!“
-Kimberly P.
“I used the bilingual SMART goals resource to show parents how to make goals with their children and then I was able to post the templates in SeeSaw for them to use to set their learning goals. We are going to do it again next month. It is so helpful to have it in English and Spanish to make our parent meeting more inclusive. Thank you!!!”
