MY PATH TO TEACHING

I studied at Allan Hancock College. My high school math tutor inspired me to help students meet them where they are, spark excitement for learning, and adapt teaching styles for success.

WHAT SHAPED ME

Attending a nature-based, inclusive elementary school in Tennessee, coupled with challenges in middle school, inspired me to support children navigating similar struggles.

WHY SYV FAMILY SCHOOL

I love the natural environment, inclusivity, and opportunities for exploration.

IN MY CLASSROOM

I hope students feel inspired, listened to, loved, and safe while learning about the world and their own capabilities.

FAVORITE CHILDREN’S BOOK

The Day You Begin by Jacqueline Woodson, I Am Human by Susan Verde, The Lorax by Dr. Seuss.

OUTSIDE OF SCHOOL

I enjoy walking with my dog, looking for rocks or shells, listening to records, cooking, reading, and playing card games.
