I have a master's degree in education and recently completed my professional teaching certification. I was born and raised in Seattle and am a graduate of Seattle Public Schools (Garfield). I'm a firm believer of educating the whole child. This includes incorporating business, engineering and sociology into the standard curriculum. I will also get to know each child individually and incorporate their own interests into the educational process. Along with all the learning, we will have a fun-filled year with lots of opportunities for personal growth.

My teaching philosophy is to prepare a classroom environment where children feel peaceful, creative, and excited about their learning. I work to spark the child's imagination with key lessons, and then follow and assist the child as they coose their own work within a structure. My goal is to help the children become organized, socially adept, and intellectually tenacious.
