I'm so excited to be joining the second grade team and continue working with the amazing students here at Eanes. Communication is key to building a strong community, so please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or want to share about your student. I do my best to respond within 24 hours, and the best way to reach me a via email and parent square.

Prior to moving to Austin two years ago, I lived in Virginia. I grew up in Richmond with my two sisters (who are also my best friends), before attending the University of Virginia. After graduating with my Bachelors degree in English Literature and History in 2022, I stayed on at UVA for an additional year as I earned my Masters of Teaching. I've had the privilege of teaching at the elementary, middle, and high school level, and I cannot wait to continue my elementary teaching journey this year. 

In my free time, I love exploring the city on long runs or from the water via paddle board. As an avid reader, one of the highlights of my job is chatting about books with students and introducing them to new texts. My other hobbies include traveling, hiking, painting, and cooking. I'm really looking forward to getting to know your student's interest and passions, and sharing more about mine!
