WHAT I LOVE ABOUT SYVFS

The serene location, welcoming staff, passionate families, and of course the amazing students makes SYVFS a truly unique and delightful place!


WHY I DO WHAT I DO

I strive to make learning enjoyable, relevant, and accessible to my students. I love watching the growth of the whole-child throughout a student’s educational journey.


WHEN NOT AT SCHOOL

When I’m not at school, I love tending to my herb garden, cooking, discovering new walking trails, and thrifting!


FAVORITE PLACE ON CAMPUS

I love the outdoor classroom outside of Blue Door. It is great to simultaneously hold lessons and connect with nature.


FAVORITE SYVFS TRADITION

I am still getting familiar with all of the SYVFS traditions, but something tells me I will love the monthly hikes!


WE LOVE READING! HERE ARE SOME OF MY FAVORITE BOOKS FOR KIDS:

  • In My Heart: A Book of Feelings (Growing Hearts) by Jo Witek

  • A-Z Mysteries series by Ron Roy
