Bio
Hello and welcome! I am a dynamic, student-centered elementary educator with 28 years of classroom experience across all elementary content areas. I am a National Board Certified Teacher experienced in designing engaging, standards-aligned lessons that build strong foundations in literacy, math, science, and social studies. I have been a two-time teacher of the year, known for energetic instruction, differentiated strategies, and a warm classroom culture that values curiosity, growth, and a love of learning. I value developmentally appropriate lessons that blend explicit skill instruction based on research-based best teaching and learning practices. I look forward to working together to best meet your students' needs and learning goals.
