I am thrilled to be a part of the vibrant learning community as an ESL teacher at Renner Middle School. After two wonderful years at the IB World School at Huffman Elementary, I decided I wanted to make an impact in older students by encouraging them to focus on how to learn rather than what to learn by growing their minds on their journey towards bilingualism and academic excellence.

I love every connection I make with my students. It's the spark in their eyes when they conquer a challenging concept, and those "aha" moments that make teaching worth it. I know that education is more than just textbooks, and that it's about nurturing curious minds and fostering growth.

Outside of the classroom, my family is my everything. I have a 3-year-old daughter who keeps me on my toes and a very supportive husband.  

As we embark on this bilingual journey, I can't wait to see the amazing paths our students will carve for themselves. My goal is to prepare them not only as successful learners but also as confident individuals who can navigate the world with a global perspective.

Here's to a year filled with growth, laughter, and the magic of learning!
