About Me

My teaching philosophy centers on the belief that each child is a unique individual needing a secure, caring, and stimulating atmosphere to grow. As an educator, it was my desire to help students meet their fullest potential by providing an environment that was safe, supported risk-taking, and invited the sharing of ideas. For me, teaching was about making learning engaging and relevant to students’ lives; it was about patience, inclusion, and the pursuit of every student’s success. As an elementary teacher, I strived to bring an open mind, a positive attitude, and high expectations to the classroom each day. I believed that flexibility and a quick smile could go a long way in creating a classroom atmosphere where all students could thrive. While teaching, I was committed to being a teacher who ensured that learning was productive yet fun, and that all students felt valued, motivated, and in a place where they wanted to attend and learn. My resource creation often centers around gamification. Expanding on the notion that learning can be both fun and educational. Games are one way to get kids involved and comfortable with their classmates.
