Fun Facts

One of my biggest passions is travel, I throughly enjoy going abroad and learning and immersing myself in other cultures, in 2017 I have traveled to Ireland and Italy. All people who have had the chance to get to know me also know about my love for all things Disney, the parks, movies, gadgets, you name it! I also absolutely love dogs and spend the majority of my free time taking my 3 year old beagle on walks and to the park.

About Me

I am entering my 5th and final year at Towson University as a middle school education major. I am specializing in science and social studies education, and have completed the credits for a biology minor. I am very passionate about education and am very excited to have my own classroom very soon! I start my student teaching this year but have had multiple internships while in school. I hope to get a masters degree in special education after receiving my bachelors degree.

Experience

I worked at The Y 4 years as a camp counselor/camp director and gymnastics coach. There I had experience with children ages 3-16. I have also worked for Towson University's Center for STEM excellence, an education and outreach program at their field-trip location working with grades 3-12. There I worked with students in large groups as a lead teacher and one-on-one with students in a hands-on, real-world laboratory. I also have prior nannying/babysitting experience.

Approach

I feel very passionate that each person and student learns differently. My goal is to work with a student to find what type of learning works best for them and to embrace that method to help them succeed as much as possible. I have taken many special education courses, and also worked with students in a classroom setting with multiple different special needs. I believe that creating an encouraging, trusting, positive relationship with a student is key for student success.
