I am a certified elementary teacher with endorsements in art, gifted education, and early childhood development. I have taught the bulk of my 16 years as a 3rd grade teacher, but have also taught 1st and 4th grades. I also teach an afterschool art class 4 days a week during the school year. I love teaching and seeing my students learn on a daily basis. It is my goal to ignite a passion for learning in my students, to create life-long learners, future innovators, and makers.
