Hello!

I am an active educator and I've been teaching children in all kinds of ways for the last 13 years. I have a Bachelors of Science in Elementary Education with an emphasis in Early Childhood Education. I have taught 5th grade in a public charter school, four different preschool settings, subbed in special education and general education K-6, and I currently help train the leaders for children and youth in my church. My favorite kids to teach are my three crazy boys- ages 7, 6, and 3. 

I believe in taking hold of children's natural wonder and engaging all learning styles in a complete interactive and uplifting experience. I believe in challenging them, helping them form connections, and giving them lots of positive encouragement. I sing, I move, I apply, I connect, and I use all kinds of resources to help children learn. I am well known for my big smiles and cheers, my enthusiasm and energy, my passion for what I teach, and my love and concern for each student. 

When I am not teaching, you can find me outside- my favorite place to be. And if I can't be there, I'm probably cooking something, cleaning something, or creating something while dancing and singing to music. 

Thanks for stepping into my classroom!
