Hello,

 This is my 14th year teaching elementary school. I currently teach 5th grade reading, writing, science, and social studies. My education philosophy is "I am not just a teacher, I am a facilitator of instruction. All children can not only learn but thrive! Each one can achieve amazing things by tapping into curiosity and hard work." I am passionate about teaching children to become risk-takers and global learners. One day they will be future leaders and innovators. In my spare time I love watching movies, running, and hiking.
