I see childhood as a time of wonder, exploration, and discovery. 

I have a Masters in early childhood and inclusive education with an emphasis on literacy.  I have been an educator for over 20 years, a journey that has given me the chance to work in many creative settings ranging from literacy programs to creating early childhood programming for a children’s museum.  For four years, I worked as an educator and mentor teacher in a Reggio-inspired school dedicated to inquiry-based learning.  I am bilingual in English/Spanish.  I am also a mom of two inquisitive kids, and I homeschooled for part of the time while we lived in South America.  

My childhood was full of art, time outside, music, and stories which are all a big part of who I am as an educator.  I love to help learners dive deeper into their interests and engage their imagination.  Most of my classes explore fun and meaningful ways to practice and build literacy skills (creating comics/storytelling/nature journaling/creative writing…).

I see all children as capable individuals who are motivated to learn when their interests are honored and they are encouraged to make their own discoveries.  I love to present children with open-ended learning experiences with room for them to express themselves in their own creative ways.  I love being a part of the Outschool community!
