I'm a passionate educator with over ten years of classroom experience, currently teaching middle-grade literacy while pursuing my Master's in Special Education. I design engaging, accessible lessons in literacy and history using interactive icebreakers, graphic organizers, and differentiated activities that ignite a love of reading and critical thinking. My student-centered approach celebrates diverse learners, builds confidence through small-group support and positive feedback, and fosters real-world connections. Outside the classroom, I explore new literature and develop creative instructional strategies to keep my practice fresh and inspire every student's progress.

My interests include:
Sports: Go O's and Ravens
Music
Movies
Art
Reading
Outdoors: hiking, traveling, bush-related adventures
Building things with my hands
Cats
History
