I am from Houston, TX and moved to Denton, TX in 2016 to attend the University of North Texas for my bachelors in Interdisciplinary Studies EC-6 with a certification in ESL. I was exposed to the world of teaching through my family at a very young age and ever since I have had a heart for helping others in whatever capacity that may be. I started off my teaching experience by co-teaching at Mitrani's Art Camp for Girls for many years and eventually went on to direct children's plays for local elementary schools through my high school's theatre program. I also volunteered as a judge for (DI) Destination Imagination for 2 years at the elementary and high school level in the DFW area. I then went on to teach at an outreach program for the summer of 2019 for my local YMCA. I am incredibly excited to have a classroom of my own and make it a loving and creative place for my students!

I live in a cute little apartment in Aubrey with my bunny, Ophelia, who keeps me on my toes. She most recently discovered she likes chewing my shoes! I am currently engaged and had to reschedule my wedding to December of 2021. In my free time I like to read and paint, I love the beach and hiking in Jones State Park. My favorite color is green and I can never have enough tea (I have over 3 boxes of flavors, it's probably a hobby at this point).

1. Create a space where all learners feel loved and accepted for who they are.
