My teaching journey began at the age of 3 when I was a student at Shady Oak Christian School! Twenty years later, in 2023, my journey came full circle when I joined the Sprouts Class as a Teaching Assistant. Last year, I was honored to continue with Sprouts as a Lead Teacher, and I am so excited to be starting my third year with Sprouts this year!

I have a strong passion for the Core Values of Shady Oak Christian School and have first-hand experience of the importance of the exploration, connection and hands on learning that Shady Oak offers children.

In my free time I enjoy being with my family/friends, reading, hanging out with my bearded dragon (Pat) and spending time outdoors.
