Teaching style

Since 2004, I’ve taught, tutored, and coached students in grades K to 5, in addition to supporting teachers in various capacities on and off campus. My teaching style has always centered on choice, independence, and active learning. I want students to do more than fill in blanks or bubble in answers, which you'll see when you grab one of my resources.

Awards & shining teacher moments

• NBCT • Teacher of the Year for my school, 2016 • Many cards proclaiming me to be the "best teacher ever" • One card proclaiming me to be a student's "second favorite" teacher (a gift I cherish)

Additional biographical information

I lead an intentionally quiet life and love nothing more than snuggling up on the couch with my husband and our dog, Leo. I love reading, any and all Bravo shows, and going down rabbit holes at least once a week.
