About Me
I love everything Disney. I find joy in watching Disney movies and going to Disneyland when possible. I am a big fan of Harry Potter too. Family is important to me. It is a favorite to spend time with them. I have two cats; they make me very happy. Cookie is black and white. Coconut is tan and white.
Professional information
I completed Early Childhood Education and Elementary Education degrees at Utah Valley University in 2016 and 2018. I have seven years of experience working with elementary-age children to develop cultural values, positive character habits, and knowledge in the Utah Core Standards. I have learned many skills over these seven years. The most prized are active listening, critical thinking, problem-solving, and effective lesson planning.
Teaching Philosophy
I know that it is my responsibility to make students feel safe, connected, and confident. I love teaching because being a role model to children and making a positive difference in their lives is my favorite. I have zero tolerance for bullying. I build a student’s self-worth while in my classroom. I empower students to set goals and grow to meet those goals. I believe that this philosophy helps these children have a great school year.
