As a certified educator with a Master's in Marriage and Family Therapy from Capella University and a Bachelor's in EC-6 Generalist Education from the University of Texas at Arlington, I am passionate about fostering a supportive learning environment where students can thrive. My approach centers on building strong connections with students and using relatable examples to make complex concepts more accessible. I believe that every student has the potential to succeed, and I am dedicated to helping them reach their academic goals. I enjoy exploring new teaching methodologies and engaging in activities that enhance my understanding of different learning styles.

["I like to experiment in the kitchen and create new recipes to satisfy my sweet tooth! I greatly enjoy baking - anything from cookies to pies and multi-tiered cakes. I have a published cookbook and am working on the second volume now. \r\nAnother passion of mine is animals. I am involved in PAWS","safety","loving foster homes","and eventual 'furever' homes to the strays and neglected animals of my city."]
