About
I am an elementary education candidate with hands-on experience in both lower and upper elementary classrooms. I enjoy creating structured, engaging lessons that help students feel confident and successful. I focus heavily on using data to guide my instruction, whether that’s through small groups, re-teaching, or pushing students to think more deeply. I value strong relationships with my students and believe a positive, well-managed classroom is key to learning. My goal is to create a classroom where students feel supported, challenged, and excited to learn.
