My teaching philosophy centers on building understanding first, because confidence follows clarity. My experience mentoring both middle and high school students has shaped my ability to adapt to different learning styles and perspectives. As a high school engineering teacher, I prioritize interaction, curiosity, and engagement in the classroom!

I enjoy reading, traveling, and spending time with friends and family. When I’m not planning my next trip or in the classroom, I’m usually at a cycling class or at home with my cat!
