My philosophy is all students can learn. I have a passion for the youth; to educate, mentor, and learn from them. Preteens are wildly creative and open-minded; it's a joy to work alongside them. Aside from teaching, I love yoga, cooking, listening to music and traveling. I returned from teaching abroad in 2020. It was a wonderful experience and I am thankful for it.
