Elementary school teacher with a passion for little learners! I taught 3rd grade for two years before moving to first grade and falling in love with that age group! I have spent the past 4 years in first grade where I developed a love of teaching reading and phonics! I am currently in a departmentalized school where I teach reading and social studies, which has given me a wonderful opportunity to really dive into reading instruction and best practices!
I believe that relationships are key. If you don't have close relationships with every single child in your room, you will not have success! I believe in creating a nurturing and loving environment where students feel supported and celebrated on their best days, and more importantly - on their worst! I have a passion for whole-body learning and incorporating body movements and songs into my classroom!

I am a current DC transplant who grew up in Indiana! When I am not teaching or creating content, you can find me snuggling up with my dog (my students know he is my best friend) or deep into a good book!
