"I am a certified elementary teacher with 12+ years of experience teaching kindergarten through second grade in the classroom. I am endorsed in reading and ESOL and have consistently earned Highly Effective teaching ratings. In 2018, I was honored to be named Teacher of the Year at my school.

I have extensive experience working with diverse learners, including students with a wide range of learning disabilities and language needs. I believe every child learns differently, and my approach is compassionate, patient, and highly motivating. I focus on building confidence, strengthening foundational skills, and helping students feel proud of their progress.

Beyond the classroom, I have volunteered in children's ministry for over 15 years, which has deepened my ability to connect with children, encourage growth, and support families. I truly believe every child has the opportunity for success when given the right support, encouragement, and instruction- and I love being part of that journey." less...
