TEACHING EXPERIENCE

I've worked as a Gifted and Talented Resource Teacher, second grade teacher, and third grade teacher. I absolutely loved it! I am staying at home with my two boys right now, but will enjoy returning to teaching when the time comes!

MY TEACHING STYLE

I believe that children learn best when they are appropriately challenged in fun and engaging ways.
