Bio
I live in Philadelphia, PA. I love the city and I also love to get out hiking. I have hiked about half of the Appalachian Trail, 1,100 miles so far. I also lift weights for fun and read about 40 books every year. The best part about being an educator is the wonderful students I get to work with! I like to provide frequent positive feedback to students as we work through our lessons. Besides knowing the content, I like to tune in to my students and how they're feeling, in order to support them through more difficult material. I understand that school is not always the easiest or most fun for every student. I provide essential social and emotional skill building and support in addition to content, critical thinking skill development, and strategy building. Being supportive of individual students is incredibly important to me.
