TEACHING EXPERIENCE

I spent 17 years teaching 5th grade with a focus on ELA, mathematics, and technology. This is my first year as our district's grades 4 and 5 math interventionist and coach. I'm very excited for the new adventure!

MY TEACHING STYLE

I value project-based work and independent thinking. The interest and excitement of inquiry-based discoveries by students' own hands is something that cannot be replicated through simple presentation of material.

None better than the pleasure of working with nearly 1000 young minds.
