My approach to teaching is rooted in truly getting to know my students and creating a highly engaging classroom environment where learning is enjoyable—for them and for me. With 16 years of teaching experience, I have a deep understanding of grade-level standards and work intentionally to align those expectations with my students’ individual interests and strengths. I believe that when students are engaged and feel seen, they are more motivated to learn and take ownership of their progress. I hold high expectations for every student and firmly believe that all students can—and will—make tremendous growth when supported, challenged, and encouraged in the right ways.

My mission

My mission as an educator is to inspire and support learning one mind at a time, creating a classroom environment where every student feels seen, valued, and motivated. I strive to foster high engagement by connecting lessons to students’ interests and strengths, making learning both meaningful and enjoyable. Through personalized, passionate teaching, I aim to empower each learner to reach their full potential and develop a lifelong love of learning.

My Story

When I was in 3rd grade, my world was pretty shaky- my parents had just gone through a divorce, and we had moved to a new state. I was struggling in math and didn’t know anyone, which made school feel really overwhelming. But my teacher was the first person to truly see me and take the time to get to know who I was. I noticed how she built strong, positive relationships with all her students, and that inspired me deeply. She helped build my confidence and sparked my love for math, reading, and writing. It was through her kindness and dedication that I realized I was meant to become a teacher—to be that same kind of support and inspiration for others.

Cognitive Diversity

How I adapt to students with diverse intellectual needs.

I have extensive experience teaching a wide range of diverse learners, from students with disabilities to those who are gifted. I take the time to truly get to know each student—their starting point, their interests, and their individual learning gaps. By combining this understanding with a strong knowledge of grade-level standards, I’m able to tailor instruction in a way that leverages their strengths and supports their growth, no matter where they begin. I specialize in the Orton-Gillingham approach for students with dyslexia, which not only benefits struggling readers but also provides a structured and engaging way for all students to improve their decoding and spelling skills. My goal is always to create an inclusive, supportive environment where every learner can thrive.

As the gifted teacher at my last school, I had the opportunity to work with a wide range of learners, including students with multiple diagnoses. Many of these twice-exceptional (2e) students quickly became some of my favorite to teach because of their incredibly unique perspectives and ways of thinking. They often approached problems with creativity, depth, and insight that challenged and inspired me as an educator. Supporting their strengths while addressing their needs was both rewarding and meaningful, and it reinforced my belief in the importance of individualized, strength-based teaching.

For the past two years, I’ve had the incredible opportunity to work with gifted students, and I can honestly say this group has been the most unique and fun I’ve taught in my 16 years of teaching. Their curiosity, creativity, and passion for learning brought a fresh energy to the classroom every day. They challenged me to think outside the box and pushed themselves in ways that were inspiring to watch. It’s been a joy to support their growth, explore their diverse talents, and celebrate the many ways they approach problems and ideas. This group truly reminded me why I love teaching.

In my years of teaching, I’ve had extensive experience working with students with ADHD, and I truly enjoy the energy, creativity, and curiosity they bring to the classroom. I’ve learned to create structured, engaging environments that support their focus while allowing for movement and choice. By building strong relationships and understanding their individual needs, I’m able to help them channel their strengths and make meaningful academic and personal growth. Teaching students with ADHD has made me a more flexible, responsive, and thoughtful educator.

After teaching for 16 years, I’ve worked with many students with learning differences, including dyslexia and dysgraphia. These students often face unique challenges with reading, writing, and spelling, but with the right support, they can make incredible progress. My training in the Orton-Gillingham approach has been a powerful tool in helping these learners succeed. It provides a structured, multisensory way to teach foundational literacy skills, which is especially effective for students who struggle with traditional methods. Using this approach, I’m able to meet students where they are and build their confidence while helping them develop the skills they need to thrive.
