About me
I began my career in education working at the Afterschool program here at Christ the King. I then went on to get my Masters of Arts in Teaching at Lewis and Clark College in Portland OR. I then went on to teach in Colorado, Hawaii and on the South Side of Chicago. The pandemic has brought me home from my wanderings and blessed me to be back in Burlington with the opportunity to teach all of you. While we have the privilege of in person learning everything you need to know and complete will be in the Table of Contents of your binder. Materials will also be available on Google Classroom.
