Hello! I have been teaching for over seventeen years, and I love teaching music, drama, English grammar and writing. My hobbies are cooking and reading, and I am thrilled to be able to teach in these areas as well. 
I have taught in two private schools and in a private college as well. My experience has ranged from primary classroom teacher, to administration, to private tutoring and everything in between!

Besides the title of "teacher," I am blessed to hold the title of "mom." My husband and I have four boys that keep us super busy. We love to explore, hike, try new restaurants and travel. Our family's favorite vacation spot to date is Colorado. We absolutely love Rocky Mountain National Park. 
I have a Bachelors of Science degree in Secondary Education, and I have taught English 101, Business Communication, Speech, Home Economics, Spanish, private piano and flute lessons, and English as a second language to children in China. I have tutored in Grammar and Math as well. I have also completed The Dale Carnegie Training course and completed a TESOL Certification. 

Most recently, I taught English at a college level, and especially enjoyed focusing on journal writing. My passion for reading and my love of books has led me to organize and lead several community adult book clubs over the past 7 summers. I look forward to translating this fun book club format to my Outschool students at an elementary level! 

I love to make learning FUN! I love to learn something new everyday, and I try to pass that love for learning on to my students.
