I am a passionate and dedicated elementary educator with a strong background in lower elementary instruction, specializing in reading and math. I hold a degree in Elementary Education and a master's degree in Literacy, which allows me to provide strong, research-based instruction in early literacy development. I enjoy working with students in the lower elementary grades because this is such a critical time for developing lifelong learning skills. I strive to create a positive and encouraging learning environment where students feel comfortable taking risks and asking questions. My mission is to support each student's individual needs while making learning meaningful, fun, and successful. I look forward to the opportunity to work with new students and help them reach their full potential.

["Outside of teaching, I enjoy a variety of creative and active hobbies. I love building LEGO sets, which allows me to be creative and think through problem-solving in a fun way. I also enjoy taking painting classes, where I can express my creativity and continue learning new skills. In my free time, I like to stay active by spending time outdoors, especially swimming and bike riding."]
