Teaching style
My teaching philosophy centers on creating an immersive and dynamic learning environment where students become active participants in their educational journey. I believe in the power of visual engagement and continuously refine my instructional materials based on student feedback and classroom observations. By focusing on topics that spark genuine student interest and incorporating hands-on projects, I help create lasting memories and deeper understanding. The most meaningful learning happens when students are fully invested in the process – from the initial hook that captures their attention to the final project that showcases their comprehension. Every resource I create reflects my commitment to both professional excellence and student engagement.

My own education history
I hold a Bachelor of Science in Teaching Social Sciences from Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah. My educational journey included the unique opportunity to complete my student teaching in Washington, D.C., where I gained valuable classroom experience in our nation's capital.
Additional biographical information
Based in vibrant Las Vegas, Nevada, I bring psychology and sociology to life for students at one of the state's largest high schools. As a lifelong learner, I'm constantly immersing myself in cognitive psychology, particularly focusing on memory and learning through podcasts, books, and research. My passion for creativity and design influences everything I create, while my love for travel and cultural exploration enriches my teaching perspective. As a single parent to an amazing seven-year-old, I've found that creating engaging educational resources allows me to combine my passion for teaching with supporting my family while helping fellow educators nationwide. I love connecting with other passionate educators - you can find me on Instagram @looslilearning to share ideas and discuss innovative teaching strategies.
