I love academics and focusing on improving student learning. I am thorough, planned, systematic, and structured in approach. I love aggregated data and analyzing the details to inform my instruction. I am always thinking, analyzing, and reflecting. On the other hand, I am an ideas girl! I love all things creative, colorful, and fun. Kids learn best when they are emotionally connected to the content and to their teacher. Behind the scenes I am carefully analyzing and planning everything to a tee, in the classroom I am engaging, empathetic, and enjoying making memories with my little learners!
