Experience

I have taught full-day Kindergarten for three years, and am looking forward to entering my fourth year this fall! I also have experience teaching first-fourth graders in after school enrichment programs, homework labs, and summer school. My Kindergarten class is themed The Fireflies, because the goal is always for us to have a bright, shining, magical year together!

Teaching style

I strive to have an organized classroom where the kids can be as independent as possible. I believe every child can learn and make it my goal to help them to reach their full potential. I also want each year to be fun, memorable, and have a little bit of magic :)

My own education history

I attended the University of New Hampshire in Durham, NH.

Additional biographical information

I love teaching, anything with sprinkles, cupcakes, and my cat Maisy :) My favorite children's author is Mo Willems. I am best known on my teaching team for my organization, and my love for dressing up and making my teammates join me.
