I teach because I believe being an educator is one of the most important jobs in the world. We help change lives and create endless possibilities for every learner.  As a child, I was inspired by teachers who saw potential in me. They revealed to me that learning is not just about knowledge, but a journey of growth, confidence and meaningful connections. Their compassion and dedication ignited a passion in me to do the same for others.

What continues to drive my passion is seeing students discover their strengths, overcome challenges, and realize that they are capable of more than they ever imagined. I strive to create a classroom environment where students develop a passion for school with an eagerness to learn- as well as a place for them to feel loved, valued, supported and celebrated each day.
