Experience

I have taught in many different places and roles: elementary school (both primary and intermediate), preschool, museum education, sports instruction, library, and English as a Second Language.

I try to encourage self-efficacy and global citizenship in my students - school is not a place to earn grades, but a place to learn about the world around us.

Awards & shining teacher moments
