Greetings! 

I am so excited about joining the Outschool team! I have worked as a preschool teacher for the past seven years. I worked as an educator at the Children’s Museum of Atlanta for four years. I also worked for a number of after school programs and summer camps at different private schools and nature centers around Atlanta. I have a BA in Elementary Education from Queen’s University of Charlotte. My favorite subjects to teach are science and social studies. I love children’s literacy so I’ll definitely be reading a book in most of my classes. I will definitely plan and facilitate different activities that encourage children to use their imaginations and expand their “creative brains”.

I believe that any sort of play is an important part of a child’s learning. I love creating different play based centers for my preschool students to put around our classroom. Going outside and being around nature is  important as well. Kids can use their imaginations to create games and other activities while they are outdoors. I remember when I use to play in the creek near my childhood home with the other kids in my neighborhood. We loved to “play pretend”!

I also believe in using the “multiple intelligences theory” in my teaching because all children learn in different ways. I am not a huge fan of worksheets unless it’s absolutely necessary. I like using a variety of materials and resources whenever I teach. It’s important to learn about the children you work with and form relationships. 

Here are some fun facts about me:
1) I have a twin sister
2) I love outdoor activities, especially zipling 
3) I have traveled to 7 different countries overseas (Italy, England, Scotland, Ukraine, Poland, France and Ireland)
4) I’ve been a member of the Junior League of Atlanta for over 5 years
5) I love Clemson football 🏈 My grandfather attended Clemson University so I have always been a huge fan
