I am a fun-loving teacher and storyteller. I love creating positive interactions and building meaningful relationships with my students. My experience includes teaching Pre-K through Year 4 in International Baccalaureate, British National Curriculum, and Reggio Emilia-inspired school settings in Germany, Thailand, and the USA.
My teaching style is centered on students. I incorporate fun, curiosity, love, and respect into learning.
Recognized as an "Outstanding Teacher" by OFSTED school inspectorate. Whole-school Design and Technology coordinator.
I graduated from North Central College with a degree in Elementary and Middle School Education. In addition, I have been certified as a Reading Specialist. My students have been my best teachers.
