I would describe myself as adventurous, strong-willed, moral, caring, and creative.
My solo adventuring experiences have strengthened my self-confidence and ability to make quick decisions when alone and under stress. I stand by strong humanist beliefs that contribute to my abilities and continued growth as an educator. My belief in the power of knowledge motivates me in my personal life and career. Informed by Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, my style of education highly values the well-being of the students I have the privilege of leading.

After graduating college with over a thousand hours of classroom experience, I taught seventh and eighth graders English Language Arts. After almost a year in formal education, I accepted a position teaching children and adults ceramics. I have vastly enjoyed my time teaching the art of pottery, but wish to return to teaching linguistics. I greatly appreciate how the study of linguistics opens new worlds of opportunities for success and knowledge, for myself and my students.
