Hello!
I am so excited to join you on this education adventure! I absolutely love teaching and learning and believe it can be exciting for every student! I am a certified classroom educator with a master's degree in education and a second master's degree in history. With over 15 years of experience working with learners of all levels, I am confident that even the most hesitant learner can be excited and engaged in every lesson!
I love exploring all things history! From the Highlands of Scotland to the Plains of America, from the Amphitheater in Greece to the Great Wall in China, history is the story of who we are. And, English is the tool to uncover, decode, analyze, and communicate the past. Paired together, these subjects are a dynamic duo.
I am the wife of a fellow educator and mama to two spunky little ones (ages 9 and 8). We love going outdoors and exploring nature, reading together on rainy days, and watching Marvel superhero movies!
