With over a decade of experience in education, I have worked extensively with children, families, and youth service professionals in a broad range of educational settings and dynamic communities. My experience spans from teaching youth in preschools and K-12 public school settings to developing and facilitating engaging STEAM-based curriculum in expanded learning programs. I believe in leveraging the power of play-based learning to foster critical thinking skills, SEL skills, and creativity in young children. My driving force is a passion for crafting inclusive and diverse learning experiences that holistically nurture the whole person and inspire a deep love for learning. Through my work, I aim to foster growth, development, and a profound sense of purpose in those I serve.
