Dynamic and student focused teacher with 18 years of classroom experience and
still enjoying the journey to become an even stronger teacher. I am highly

learning environment is filled with excitement and students are not afraid to take
risks. Parent engagement is high, consistent, and meaningful. I enjoy working with
staff to build on curriculum, community relations, and what is best for students.
