I am dedicated to igniting a passion for learning in my students. With over 23 years of teaching experience and advanced degrees in Administration and Interdisciplinary Studies, I specialize in elementary reading and math, as well as middle school math. My approach is rooted in humor and relatability, making learning enjoyable and accessible. I tailor each lesson to meet individual needs, employing interactive strategies and manipulatives that transition students from concrete understanding to abstract concepts. I thrive on building connections with my students by discovering their interests, which allows me to create engaging and meaningful learning experiences. My ultimate goal is to instill confidence and foster academic success in every child I work with.
