My teaching career spans the last decade, with experience in multiple settings including non-profit, Waldorf schools, Montessori schools, continuation schools, and public/private elementary, middle, and secondary schools. My pedagogical approach is progressive and creative in nature and is heavily influenced by whole-child pedagogies, which focus on foundations for lifespan development in emotional, mental, spiritual, physical, and social domains. What I love most about my job is the opportunity to support children when they need it most; to be a positive influence on their sense of self and support their resiliency as learners.
