Favorite Quotes : "Be a rainbow in someone else's cloud."-Mya Angelou 

Philosophy: I believe learning should be fun! I believe all student's can learn and thrive and that it is my job to help facilitate their interests and guide them to enrich their knowledge. I believe in teaching to the whole child and that school should be more than just academics. I will foster a learning environment where students can feel safe to grow physically, mentally, emotionally, and socially, as well as academically. 

Fun Fact: I come from a family of teachers! Seven people in my family (including me) work for IUSD.
