My goal has always been to create a relaxed and warm environment that is stimulating, encouraging, and adaptive to the varied needs of the students. I strive to encourage all children to be successful learners, utilizing interesting and interactive curriculum. I incorporate continuous conversation and speaking throughout all my lessons, especially my ESL lessons.

I am a mother and a grandmother with a varied career both in education and in the business world, as a marketing and sales professional in the software industry. I love books and I play tennis every chance I get!

As an ESL teacher, I hope to inspire my students to love learning as I have enjoyed the joy of exchanging cultural backgrounds. I have learned as much as I have taught. As a reading and language arts teacher, I hope to inspire a love and proficiency of reading and writing.
