"A single act of kindness throws out roots in all directions, and the roots spring up and make new trees." - Amelia Earhart
I am thrilled to be teaching fourth grade at Eanes Elementary for the 2025-2026 school year. I whole heartedly believe that my students are capable of learning, doing, and achieving exceptional goals. Supporting their growth and observing how their confidence blossoms throughout the year is an honor to cultivate and guide. Parents, let's work together to help these young thinkers, communicators, and visionaries experience their greatness during fourth grade and beyond.
"The beautiful thing about learning is that no one can take it away from you." - B.B. King
