My name is Isabel Sandoval; I am a Special Education teacher for the Oakmont HIgh School FSP Transition Program.  My teaching career began in 2015 but have been in the field since 2001 as a paraeducator, behavior therapist, and long term sub teacher. The journey has been long and I have enjoyed every minute of it! 

Teaching means so much to me, it has a special place in my heart.  I have two older siblings with disabilities and I understand the importance of being provided with many meaningful learning opportunities; because of that, I care deeply about each of my students.  I knew I wanted to be a special education teacher early in life (as early as 3rd grade!). 

I was born and raised in San Jose; I moved to Roseville in 2019 and have enjoyed this new chapter of my life.  I do miss being close to the beach though!   I obtained my bachlor's degree and Special Education Credential at San Jose State University... Go Spartans!

When I am not teaching I spend my time with my sons, Quetzalcoatl and Xiuhcoatl,  and siblings, Juanita and Javier. We LOVE going to museums and zoos.  I also enjoyiong reading and scapbooking.
