Welcome to my class! I’m a third-generation educator with a strong foundation in homeschooling, having been taught from kindergarten through 12th grade using the IEW method. Surrounded by educators growing up, I was inspired to follow in their footsteps. After earning my BA from NCSU in 2023, I became a registered instructor with the Institute for Excellence in Writing in 2024. Since then, I’ve been teaching both English Language Arts and Spanish. I’m excited to help your children experience the power of the IEW method and the joy of learning Spanish!

Teaching Style
I believe in a student-centered approach, where active participation, collaboration, and engagement are central to the learning process. My goal is to create a classroom environment where students feel comfortable exploring and developing their skills.
