Experience
An early childhood educator with almost a decade in the field, I have been dedicated to serving children through every step of my career, from my work as 1st Grade Lead Teacher in a public afterschool setting to my position as Curriculum Director for a startup homeschool alternative for diverse learners during the pandemic.

Teaching style
My teaching celebrates children as the creators of their own knowledge and recognizes play as the best path to learning! I know that even the littlest learners are capable of achieving big things with the right scaffolding, and believe that kids deserve opportunities and guidance to engage with real-life questions, problems, and materials. I'm a firm believer in interdisciplinary learning, empowering students to forge new connections between their facts and follow their curiosity wherever it leads them; as any former student will attest, I absolutely adore questions... especially ones I can't answer!

Additional biographical information
Outside the classroom, I continue my mission to inspire children's imaginations by appearing at birthday parties and public events as a costumed entertainer, as well as writing middle grade fantasy novels (which are currently seeking an agent!) My favorite TV show is Jeopardy, my current craft obsession is needle felting, and my app addiction is the NYT crossword puzzle.
