Summary
My passion for teaching stems from a longing to create safe spaces for students to grow into curious, brave and autonomous members of society. I create classrooms that are tailored for a variety of diverse learners and believe that cultivating positive relationships and clear expectations with your students is the foundation for their success. My experience across multiple educational settings means I am adaptable, flexible and always curious to learn more.
