I taught fifth grade (all subjects) for 8 years and now teach health and PE to preK-5th graders. I am Responsive Classroom certified. I also have an ACE Group Fitness Instructor certification.
I truly believe that establishing a rapport with each and every student is the key to success in the classroom. I take this into account as I design lessons and create resources. All students are different and it is our job as educators to nurture and celebrate those differences in all that we do.
When a student says, "You are the best teacher I've ever had," that is the best honor I can imagine!
I earned my Bachelor of Science in Psychology and Master of Teaching in Elementary Education at the University of Virginia. I also have an ACE Group Fitness Instructor certification.
I am an avid Ultimate Frisbee player and founded an after school Ultimate Frisbee Club at the first school where I taught. I also love cooking and eating! I am the author of Taco Cat, a food blog where I share recipes that I love as well as how I cook and eat while managing gastrointestinal disorders. Visit me at https://tacocat.food.blog/
