TEACHING EXPERIENCE
Taught Kindergarten through 8th grades for four years
MY TEACHING STYLE
I am a strategic thinker and planner who looks for creative ways to enrich learning. While still in college, I found that the best way to invite children to learn was to engage all their senses in the learning activities I created. This is what I still strive to achieve today.
