I currently teach and write curriculum for geography and social studies for grades 3-8 at a local private school (arguably the most fun subjects). Being around students truly fills my cup. I teach for the love of it while I save to pursue my master's degree in occupational therapy. Before entering the classroom, I worked as an advocate and community skills teacher for adults with disabilities. That experience shaped one of my greatest strengths as an educator: adapting to each learner's needs so they feel valued, capable, and included. I believe one of the biggest challenges in education today is helping students discover what sparks joy and curiosity for them. As a tutor, my goal is to reignite those flames! This means building confidence, fostering genuine interest, and helping students feel excited about learning again.

When I'm not volunteering as an art teacher for adults with disabilities, you can find me crocheting a hat for my friends' cats, making and eating breakfast food, doing anything outside with my dog, traveling and meeting new people, or in a hammock with a good book.
