ABOUT ME
I'm a dedicated educator who loves to build learning environments that spark curiosity and support real growth.
My background includes work as a middle school special education teacher and as Principal of a K-8 Christian school, where I taught multiple subjects and trained other educators. My work has included teacher development and supporting students with learning disabilities, all in service of academic excellence.
Outside the classroom, I've worked as an electrician and an architectural millwork project manager. After earning my Master of Divinity, I served as a teaching pastor, which further shaped my communication and leadership skills.
