Nice to meet you! I went to James Madison University, and concentrated in Math, Science, and Technology, with a minor in Educational Media. I got my Masters in the Art of Teaching in 2017 and have been teaching ever since. I've taught in 4th and 6th grade. I am very passionate about creating resources that will help students retain information, and stay engaged.

Teaching style

I love to be the "Guide on the Side." Being student-centered is very important to me. If you were to walk into my classroom, students would be engaged in an activity or experience, and I would be floating around checking for understanding.
