I graduated from Willamette University, earning my Bachelor of Arts in International Politics and East Asian Studies. Since graduation, I have continued my educational journey, completing a Master's of Business Administration and currently pursuing my Doctor of Management in Organizational Leadership.

As a people-first leader, I am deeply passionate about empowering others and building self-confidence through effective written and verbal communication. I firmly believe that education is essential to prepare all students for success. My approach to teaching centers around creativity, comprehensive instructions, demonstrating genuine empathy, and sharing my enthusiasm for continuous learning.

My professional background in leadership, construction, and international studies has equipped me with a unique perspective that I bring to every educational interaction. I understand the importance of adapting teaching methods to accommodate diverse learning styles and cultural backgrounds, ensuring students receive the support they need to excel.
