State Certified Teacher

Outside of teaching, I love to immerse myself in writing and music. I’m a published writer, and I enjoy exploring creativity both on the page and through live experiences like going to concerts. Music and writing fuel my passion for expression, and I often bring that same energy into my work with students, encouraging them to find their own voices. I also enjoy swimming, which keeps me active and balanced, and I find that same sense of focus and discipline carries over into my teaching. Currently, I am pursuing my master’s degree in education, an experience that continues to deepen my knowledge and strengthen my commitment to helping students grow. Altogether, my interests and studies reflect my belief that learning can be both enriching and inspiring, both inside and outside the classroom!
