Summary
I am devoted to bringing the wonder of the world to life for children and students alike. After a year teaching at Azalea Glen Christian Center, working with young children to spark the interest of learning and discovery through creativity and hands-on learning evolved into my passion. With a deep love for history, nature, and words, my teaching style revolves around play and learning with one's hands to further my student's understanding and wonder of the world.
