Hello! I’m thrilled to share my passion for teaching and gaming with young learners on Outschool. With over 20 years of experience in public, private, and homeschooling, my teaching philosophy centers on fostering a growth mindset and encouraging students to build resilience by learning from their mistakes. I integrate Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) into my classes, using gaming as a dynamic way to build skills in communication, teamwork, problem-solving, and emotional regulation—essential tools for thriving in today’s world.

Inspired by my grandmother, also a teacher, I believe that “more is caught than taught,” which guides my approach to modeling respect, kindness, and inclusivity in every class. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and a Master of Science in Education with a focus on Curriculum Design and Instruction from Drexel University, along with a professional Elementary Education K-6 certification.

My gaming journey began when my daughter introduced me to the Roblox platform, and I quickly saw the need for safe, supervised spaces for kids to enjoy their favorite games online. My Roblox classes, such as Dandy’s World, Adopt Me and Dress to Impress, are designed not just for play but for learning to become responsible digital citizens. Through these gaming experiences, students develop SEL skills, build confidence, and learn to navigate digital spaces with emotional awareness and self-regulation.

I believe in the power of play as a learning tool, especially as more learning moves online. My mission is to create safe, engaging online spaces where kids can connect, have fun, and grow.

Outside of teaching, I love exploring Broadway shows and attending anime and gaming conventions with my daughter. We also have an amazing tuxedo cat named Toes, who occasionally joins our gaming sessions!
