Experience

After teaching middle school for six years, I took a 10-year break to raise our children. When our youngest started kindergarten, I began subbing. Three years later, I returned to the classroom full-time. Now, after 13 more years of teaching, I'm excited to share my lessons with others!

Teaching style

I am passionate about student-centered learning and believe in building positive relationships with each student. I avoid "busy work" and instead focus on teaching problem-solving skills through an integrated approach that combines science with math, social studies, and ELA. I love adding a hint of mystery to my science lessons to keep students engaged and curious. My goal is for students to apply what they learn beyond the classroom walls.
