Personal Biography
I am happily married to my amazing husband, Trevor. Together, we have three beautiful children - an 8-year-old son, a 5-year-old son, and a 1-year-old daughter. Our family loves going on exciting adventures like hiking and traveling, as well as spending quality time together playing board games. In my free time, I enjoy diving into captivating books or getting lost in the world of audiobooks. Cooking and baking from scratch is a passion of mine, and I particularly love experimenting with nutritious and wholesome recipes. Learning about nutrition, health, and fitness is always intriguing to me, as I believe in the importance of taking care of our bodies. And, of course, I can never resist a cup of coffee to kickstart my day.
Educational Philosophy
I am passionate about personalizing instruction to cater to each child's unique learning style. The environment in which a student learns can greatly impact their performance, so it is vital to create clear learning expectations and to identify what motivates each student. I am truly grateful to have the opportunity to teach from a Biblical perspective, instilling not only knowledge but also Godly wisdom in my students.
