I am a dynamic educator with a proven track record in the Kirkwood School District, recognized as Teacher of the Year in 2019. Having been appointed as the Building Master Mentor in 2023, I now serve a leadership role in my building to help new teachers adjust to the demands of our district. I excell in meeting students "where they are" and adjusting my teaching to best meet their needs using data-driven instruction. I have excellent classroom management, while also creating a warm and inviting community that fosters learning and growth. I build consistently build strong relationships with my students, their families, and my colleagues. My love and passion for teaching is evident in the fun and engaging experiences I create for my students each year.
