I also love building relationships with my students, their families, and my team. It truly feels like we’re all working together to make a difference 💙💛
What inspired you to work in education? My aunt was a 2nd grade teacher, and I thought she was the coolest. I wanted to be just like her growing up, and that passion never really left me.
What is your favorite part of the school day? My favorite part of the school day is small group time. I stay busy all day, but when I finally sit down with my groups, that’s when I really get to connect with my students, support them where they are, and see their growth up close. Those are the moments that matter most. 💙
What do you enjoy doing outside of school? I love spending time with my family and just being together, laughing, and having our dance parties at home. Those are my favorite moments!!
A favorite memory from this school year: My favorite memory from this year is seeing my students hit their goals and celebrate their growth. Whether it’s moving up a level, gaining confidence, or finally “getting it,” those moments remind me why I do what I do.

What inspired you to work in education? I’ve always had a deep passion for teaching and helping children learn and grow. There is something truly meaningful about guiding students as they discover new things, build confidence, and reach their potential. Being part of their journey, even in small ways, brings me so much joy and purpose, and it’s what inspired me to pursue a career in education.
What is your favorite part of the school day? My favorite part is interacting with the students—whether it’s helping them understand something new, encouraging them, or simply sharing a smile or laugh that brightens their day.
What do you enjoy doing outside of school? I enjoy spending quality time with my family, relaxing, and doing activities that help me recharge, like planting and caring for my garden.
