TEACHING EXPERIENCE

Having taught in a variety of primary grades, I feel privileged and excited to create and recreate engaging units and resources for PreK-4. I have also worked as an EA and in preschool.

MY TEACHING STYLE

I believe in providing each student with the tools he or she needs to be successful. My favourite subjects to teach are the ones full of hands-on discovery. I try to make lessons that are meaningful, relevant, and exciting to kids.
