Teacher expertise and credentials
Florida Teaching Certificate in Elementary Education
Hello future students!

I am a high school teacher with experience in Chemistry, Geometry, Algebra and Biology! I am a premedical student that transitioned to teaching. I have always succeeded as a hands on learner and hope to do the same for your student. I value learning is beyond lectures and reading material. We will saturate the topic with interaction as I facilitate your children’s inquiry in complex topics for the youngest levels.

I am also the JV basketball coach and Special Olympics liaison/coach for flag football, basketball and track. In the fall I am the head Pop Warner football coach for 5, 6 and 7 year olds. I am able to inspire my students and players be in the classroom and on the field or court.
