Fun Facts
Happily married to Mr. D'Amato since December 2018. I'm pregnant! Baby boy on the way; the due date is August 31! So sad to be leaving the classroom for a bit, but excited to be a mom.

I love traveling the world and learning about different cultures! So far, I have been to 13 different countries!

I am the youngest of 10 children. I am the child of amazing and resilient Cambodian refugees. Being the child of immigrants has taught me a lot about perseverance and hard work.

I LOVE superheroes (esp. X-Men), adventure, sushi, tea, animal facts, cheesy jokes, asking questions, & finding deals at Target/Marshalls!

Check out me and my best friend exploring Mexico City, rating their Al Pastor Tacos!
