Background
My greatest joy is in tuning into the curiosities of each child. I aim to guide students towards their unlimited potential through dynamic student-centered curriculum.
As a documentary producer, director, and writer turned elementary educator, I have a diverse background with twelve years of experience in the t.v. and film industry and a B.S. in Communication Studies from New York University. Eight years ago, I decided to pivot and pursue my passion for teaching young people, using my experience to creatively infuse the classroom with play, movement, and media to inspire learning. Growing up, my mom wrote educational children’s music, and I saw how fun simple lyrics shared powerful ideas in playful and engaging ways. My love for connecting with children and cultivating their potential has only grown since. So, I received my MST Childhood Education and MSEd Literacy Specialist degrees from SUNY Postdam to build a strong professional foundation, knowing that literacy is at the crux of the material for younger grades. Since then, I have taught in a diverse range of public and private schools. I craft dynamic standards-aligned curriculum to make learning fun and accessible for all.
