I like working at the Academy because: From the moment I stepped in the Academy, the staff and students were very welcoming. The Academy fosters a sense of community and belonging.

Teaching Philosophy: Each student is unique and brings their own gifts to the classroom. I tailor my approach to meet my students' needs. I honor the diversity each student brings to the classroom and how we can all learn from each other's talents, diversities, and qualities.

Fun Fact: I collect novelty pens.

When I'm not in the classroom you will find me.....Spending time with my daughter and furthering my education to be a lifelong learner.

Ask me about:....my dog.

Personal Motto: Always keep moving forward!
