Experience

A few years ago, I got a master’s degree in communication and was hired on to teach interpersonal communication and public speaking at the university level as well.

Teaching style

Since I was seven I knew I would be a teacher. I strive to make my classroom a place of joy where students are inspired to learn and engage while they also get to know themselves on a deeper level. I want to foster an environment where my students feel accepted and celebrated just as they are but are encouraged to grow and change into the best version of themselves. I treat each student individually and work to get to know them.
