I am an educator and curriculum designer specializing in Pre-K to 5th grade with a Master of Education in Curriculum and Teaching from Teachers College, Columbia University and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and Studio Art from the University of Puget Sound. I have taught in various capacities as a classroom teacher, an enrichment specialist, and an art teacher in both private and public schools. While attending Teachers College, I presented my work in teacher education at the Curriculum and Teaching Conference and the Teachers College Academic Festival. My teaching philosophy focuses on understanding the whole child in order to provide learning experiences that are child-responsive, invigorating, and fun!
