Impacting Students
I believe that students learn best with hands on activities. With our young toddlers they love to listen to music, paint and play outside. I believe that through each of these activities they are learning how to express themselves, how to move their bodies, how to take turns, how to share, and so much more. It is incredible to see how much their little minds absorb in just a short amount of time.
Professional Passion
I have a passion for working with children, and I want to instill a passion for learning in each of them. I want them each to understand that they are loved, they are important, and they can do whatever they put their minds to.
Favorite Teaching Moment
One of my favorite teaching moments at Graland was when a few of our older toddlers were able to identify shapes and colors. I was so proud of them and to see their faces light up brought me so much joy.
Outside the Classroom I’m ...
... spending time with family and friends. I love to do anything outdoors! I also love to travel and experience different parts of the world and different cultures and foods.
Life Goal
Go bungee jumping
Favorite Childhood Memory
Going to breakfast at my grandparents house the first Sunday of every month with all my cousins.
