Fun Facts

I enjoy scuba diving, being an open-water safety swimmer, and climbing volcanoes.

About Me

In 2015, I graduated from Chico State University of California with a double bachelor of arts in social science and psychology. I played water polo while working as a swim coach, athletic official, autistic-spectrum mentor, and high school tutor. Following graduation, I pursued a career as a Kindergarten-12th grade multiple-subject educator. As an educator, I have organized academic opportunities for after-school students, founded a Spanish language acquisition program, completed professional development training for inquiry-based learning, and earned a Master of Arts in Teaching from the University of Massachusetts Global. I look forward to getting to know your student by helping them achieve their full potential.

Experience

I have primarily worked as a Kindergarten-12th grade multiple-subjects teacher in roles designed around small group and individual instruction.

Approach

During lessons, the individual needs of each student will be prioritized with a focus on increasing academic proficiency as well as the confidence needed to develop a growth mindset and lifelong passion for learning. We will connect prior knowledge to new strategies and concepts, which provides students with an understanding of how to solve real-world problems related to their academic goals.
