I have been teaching elementary now for 9 years, with the bulk of my experience in 5th grade. I have also done a 4/5 combo and looped for 6th grade for one year. https://bit.ly/2UzGq0o please visit my YouTube channel and look at some of my lessons!
Student engagement is the key to teaching successful and authentic lessons where students achieve their learning goals. I strive to make my lessons meaningful and fun while still incorporating rigor and depth of knowledge.

I am very passionate about learning and aquatics! I played water polo and also was on the swim team for all four years of high school, and I also played water polo and swam for two years in junior college. I served as the junior varsity boys water polo coach at my local high school from 2002-2006 and as the varsity boys coach from 2007-2014. I was also an assistant coach for the swim team from 2004-2009 and the head coach from 2010-2016. It was my high school coaches who inspired me to choose education as a career and become a teacher. Their love of education and helping others left a lasting impression on me, and. I love teaching and helping my students succeed and achieve their goals! In my free time I still swim and play water polo. My other hobbies include DIY woodworking, reading, and rooting for the Warriors, Niners, and SF Giants.
