Having taught at almost every grade level, I have found that effective teaching contains two fundamental components: know your content and be effective with your pedagogy. My students over the years have told me that my genuine interest in improving their educational experience is what they most appreciate. I love my profession, and I respect my students. Meeting a student where they are in their educational journey is the starting point to successfully reach our learning goals.

Hobbies that bring me joy are gardening, reading, sewing, and finishing diy home projects.
