With over 34 years of experience as a dedicated elementary school teacher, I bring a wealth of knowledge, proven teaching strategies, and a deep passion for helping students succeed. Throughout my career, I have consistently delivered excellent academic achievement and assessment results by tailoring instruction to meet the unique needs of each learner.
My classroom has always been a space where students feel supported, challenged, loved, and inspired to reach their full potential.
I have earned my Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education, a Master's degree in Educational Leadership, and a Master's degree in Special Education.
I believe in building strong relationships with students and families, setting clear goals, and celebrating progress every step of the way. My strong work ethic, attention to detail, and ability to explain concepts in a patient and engaging manner make me an effective and trusted educator.
Whether a child needs support in foundational skills, enrichment in specific subjects, or help gaining confidence in their learning, I am here to guide them with care and expertise.

I love to travel, explore new places, spend time with my friends and family, and my passion is reading. I love to read all genres of books, and enjoy learning about history, people, and adventures. I also love spending time with my little dog, Mea, a very lively and friendly Shih Tzu. I also love to swim and have been teaching swimming lessons since I was 16 years old. Fun fact about me: I collect magnets from all around the world. I collect magnets from where I have traveled, and my friends and family send me magnets from their travels. I have two sides of a filing cabinet filled with magnets.
