Part 1 - Can You Afford The Life You Want?

First things first. If you see a class you really want to take but need a different day or time, please email me! With enough interest, I can open up new times. (Most likely on the weekends). 

Hello everyone! So, I love teaching, mentoring, and working with kids. I have my Bachelor's in Elementary Education, my Bachelor's in Writing Arts, my Master's in Educational Leadership, a K-12 Reading Certification, a minor in French, and my middle school certification for teaching language arts,  I currently teach 4th grade. I have taught in New Jersey (Where I'm from), North Carolina, Nevada, and now Arizona. 

I began mentoring kids when I was 17 years old. Fun fact: one of the kids I have mentored lives in Honduras, and I met him on a trip there with my church in 2007.  

My Personal Mission Statement is this: To speak hope where there is no hope; to speak life where there is no life. I love teaching things that are significant, meaningful, and life-long. I believe in teaching kids real-life skills and knowledge that will protect them, and that will help them to make great life choices. I take complicated topics and break them down into fun, easy-to-understand pieces of content that are easily digestible by all learners. 

In particular, I love teaching about internet safety, financial literacy, mindset skills, the reality of college, and entrepreneurship. I want kids to learn things about money, college, and entrepreneurship that I never learned so they can avoid the mistakes that I made, and so they can avoid the mistakes that so many other people have made! I believe that when kids learn these essential skills early on in life, they will be able to get a head-start on their competition, and they will be able to make great financial decisions that will eventually lead to real wealth creation!

Parents and kids love my classes because the material taught is relevant and instantly applicable to their lives. Parents and kids alike learn more from my classes than they thought they would, and parents have told me that my classes have helped their kids open up to them about personal topics they never talked about before.
