Hello! My name is Tamara Cundiff and I am very excited to be teaching fourth grade at La Mariposa Elementary School. I was born and raised in Camarillo and attended elementary and middle school in the Pleasant Valley School District. I earned my Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology from California State University Channel Islands, and my Masters of Science in Counseling and Guidance, and Multiple Subject Teaching Credential from California Lutheran University. I have worked in education for the past 9 years as an instructional assistant, counselor, and guest teacher. I believe in motivating, inspiring and supporting students emotionally and socially to become life long learners and to reach their highest potential by providing a caring and safe environment.
