Teacher expertise and credentials
Master's Degree in Education from Xavier University
I love the learning process and making it exciting for everyone. I don’t think traditional public schools are a good fit for a lot of children- for a variety of reasons - and am excited to be part of an alternative.
I have taught people of all ages and backgrounds. I started my teaching career as a Montessori teacher. Since then I have taught teen parents, many college classes - English Lit and Early Childhood Education - and GED classes at a jail. I love teaching all ages and am truly passionate about helping people reach their full human potential.
