TEACHING EXPERIENCE

I am in my fifth teaching English 6 in Montgomery County Public Schools. I also create materials for students of all ages for my summer job as a tutor of kiddos in grades 1-9!

MY TEACHING STYLE

I love getting my students to think in new and different ways - whether that be through group work, hands-on experiences, or through using our class set of Chromebooks.

HONORS/AWARDS/SHINING TEACHER MOMENT

None yet to speak of... Although I'm pretty sure that teaching middle schoolers is deserving of some sort of award :)

MY OWN EDUCATIONAL HISTORY

I graduated from Cedarville University with a degree in Middle Childhood Education, specializing in Social Studies and Language Arts.

ADDITIONAL BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION

I love being creative, both inside and outside the classroom! When I'm not working on materials for my classroom or my TPT storefront, you'll likely find me curled up with the cat and a cup of coffee reading a book or watching Netflix! (Gilmore Girls, anyone?!)
