Welcome to my classroom where I believe every student has a purpose, value, voice, and place!  The classes I offer range from character building classes to social groups and beyond.  My professional journey and experience has been ANYTHING but traditional!  That said, I earned a Masters of Science in Mathematics Education from University of Central Florida, as well as a Bachelors of Science in Elementary Education from the University of Maryland.  Upon graduation, I traveled abroad where I homeschooled a family for a year, taught English and Empower Girl classes in remote villages in the Dominican Republic, composed curriculum and collaborated with an organization in Africa, tutored middle and high school students in math, as well as having taught various character building lessons over the years.  More recently, I taught ESL online to students in China and have enjoyed all the amazing connections I have made across the world!  It brings me joy to encourage and empower youth to become all that they are created to be, and it is my hope your student leaves my classroom inspired!
