TEACHING EXPERIENCE

I absolutely love my job, and my passion is creating hands-on, engaging activities that students will love. I have taught third, fourth, and fifth grade. I have also served as an interventionist for grades K-5 and TAG Coordinator & Teacher. I am currently a Gifted Facilitator/Teacher for students in grades K-3. I absolutely LOVE teaching and have no plans to leave any time soon!

MY TEACHING STYLE

I believe in inquiry-based education, student-centered learning, and a classroom full of students learning at their appropriate level! Differentiation is at the heart of my classroom, and I hope to reach other teachers trying to differentiate for their kids.

HONORS/AWARDS/SHINING TEACHER MOMENT

Yet to be added

MY OWN EDUCATIONAL HISTORY

Undergraduate degree in English and Elementary Education. Graduate degree in Curriculum and Instruction and certification in Talented and Gifted. I am currently completing my second graduate degree in Social Emotional Learning.

ADDITIONAL BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION

I live in a town with a beautiful mountain view and love every minute of it! I spend as much of my spare time as I can with my husband and twin girls. Every purchase you make puts a diaper on them (the girls, that is!) and helps us provide for our family. Thank you!
