I am a creative and gifted educator with over a decade of classroom experience. I have taught Preschool-12th grade in Washington, Utah, and Alaska. Some of my extra curricular activities include teaching: guitar, piano, recorder, art, choir, drama, archery, marksmanship, emergency medicine, and water safety training. I have also taught in the Montessori Method.
I engage students in learning with a combination of sensorial and real life experiences.
