In the classroom:

I have more than 20 years of experience in education, and I am deeply passionate about my profession, particularly mathematics instruction. I enjoy incorporating a set of teaching strategies known as Whole Brain Teaching (WBT) into my daily instruction. WBT emphasizes a multimodal approach to learning, and I have found these strategies to be highly effective in my classroom. My goal is to create a positive, energetic, and engaging learning environment where students feel safe, supported, and confident taking academic risks.

I am also interested in using novelty and the physical classroom environment to promote student engagement through an instructional approach known as "classroom transformations." I enjoy designing immersive, themed learning experiences that encourage students to approach mathematics with curiosity and enthusiasm. As an elementary educator, I believe I help set the foundation for a child's academic career. One of my most important goals during the school year is to help foster a deep love for school and math within my students.
