What is your highest degree and from what school? Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education & Bachelor of Science in Professional Studies from Southwestern Assemblies of God University

What is your philosophy? I feel that a classroom should be a structured environment where children are challenged at their own level. Students should be allowed to learn by exploring their environment in a creative, nurturing way. I hope to set the tone for students as life-long learners and to empower them to find wonder in the world around them. Oh, and also…EVERYTHING is figureoutable!

Favorite Artist (musician, writer, director, painter, etc.): I love reading historical fiction, literature, romance, young adult literature, educational research, and adventure. I am a Jane Austen “Janeite” through and through!

What are your hobbies? Reading and so much more!!! I have a fine arts background, which includes playing the flute, piano, and singing, and I love to put those talents to use whenever I have the opportunity. I am also a foodie with wanderlust! I have a bucket list of travel destinations based on foods I want to eat from those places.
