My goal is to meet students where they're at so that they can grow academically while building a long-term love of learning.

I've won several academic honors and scholarships, but the little lightbulb moments matter the most to me. Seeing things click and watching my kids grow academically and socially makes my teacher-heart happy.

I have a strong passion for learning as an educator and student. My educational journey includes:
✔️ B.A. from Meredith College
