While earning my degree at Indian River State College, I was often recognized in my math courses for my ability to grasp and master concepts each week. They noticed that I offered assistance to my classmates whenever I saw they were struggling with material that I had a strong understanding of. I took pride in this role as I had always dreamed of being an educator. I was happy to tutor as it gave me the chance to practice what I would be doing after graduating. At that time I was earning my associates in Education. After taking a break from formal education to travel and learn from experiences and places and people, I decided to apply to Florida Atlantic University where I am, slowly but surely, earning my B.S in elementary Education. In 2015 I started my instructor journey as a daily substitute teacher. After connecting well with students during my time in this role, particularly getting them excited about learning and practicing math, I was offered a permanent substitute position teaching 5th grade math and science. Unfortunately, I had to step away from this after some time. Later I found myself nannying and teaching much younger "students". I enjoyed my time having an impact on the development of these young minds. Early childhood development is the foundation for the rest of their educational career and it was not a task I took lightly. Though, the kids grew up and it was time to move on once more. This is when I started my career as a flight attendant. I also had the opportunity to work a special assignment and spend a year at our training facility instructing new hires through the 5 week initial training program. Throughout my various educational roles, I have found immense joy in teaching all subjects, but math holds a special place in my heart. My deep passion for education enables me to inspire a similar enthusiasm in my students, empowering them to actively engage in their learning journey and take ownership of their education.

Aside from my dedication to education, I hold a deep passion for nature, mindfulness, fitness, and holistic wellness. Each day, I prioritize nurturing these passions to maintain optimal physical and mental well-being, empowering me to excel as an instructor and deliver my best self to my students.
