Teacher expertise and credentials
Florida Teaching Certificate in Elementary Education
Hi there! I have been teaching elementary-aged students for the last 7 years, but I specialize in reading, writing, and social studies. I also teach mindfulness, emotional regulation, math, and science. I believe strongly in the value of having a growth mindset, so I always encourage my students to set goals and learn with purpose while celebrating victories. I love Disney, sports, and reading (especially fantasy books!). I'm excited to work with you!
