Mrs. Burleson joined the Hilldale Family as a TK Teacher in the Spring of 2019 and over the years and has taught Kindergarten, First Grade, and Fourth Grade as well. She is currently a Third Grade Teacher. She has had a passion for teaching since she was a little girl. She studied History at SF State and UC Santa Cruz to pursue the path of obtaining a single subject credential. Her plan was adjusted due to having children and her desire to stay home as much as possible. She became a working/stay home mom, working part-time at a swim school and at home as an assistant to an online store. Now that her children are older, she is excited to pursue her dream again. Over the years, she has found a new love for early education. She is thrilled to help shape our children’s minds and hearts to become learners, thinkers, and kind human beings. 

During her free time, she enjoys being outdoors with her children, hiking, and spending time at the beach. She loves to move, and you won’t see her sitting for very long unless she has found a book she cannot put down.
