Teacher expertise and credentials
I have spent the past 16+ years in the K-4 elementary classroom specializing in math. Over the past few years I have worked really hard to bring back the JOY in learning and to show the kiddos that learning can be fun. As an educator it is my passion to combine my love of reading and problem solving within math and to show kiddos that stretching our brain can be rewarding and fun.
