Why I Teach
I teach because I believe in the power of education to transform lives. My goal is to create an inclusive, collaborative learning environment where students feel supported, valued, and challenged to think critically. Teaching allows me to foster curiosity, connection, and growth—not just in my students, but in myself. I strive to equip my students with the tools they need to succeed academically and beyond.

On a personal note, I’m originally from Fort Wayne and after moving around the Midwest for several years, I returned home to be closer to my family. I’m a proud mom to two amazing daughters, ages 11 and 6, who keep me very busy! I love exploring new foods and I love to read, especially mysteries and psychological thrillers, so I always welcome great food and book recommendations.
