ABOUT ME
I love working with children and pride myself on offering high-quality, personalized support for all kids. As a DCPS teacher, I’ve been rated “highly-qualified,” (highest possible rating) every year. I’ve been nominated for Teacher of the Year twice and I was awarded History Teacher of the Year by the Gilder Lehrman Institute. I have also been recognized for outstanding professional development by colleagues.

In addition to being a teacher, I am also a mom of three kids—each of whom have different strengths and have needed different academic supports. I love spending time with them hiking, paddle-boarding and spoiling our dog.
