Subject/Grades:  Second Grade

Birthplace:  I was born in Chicago, Illinois and grew up in Phoenix, Arizona. 

Education:  Arizona State University

Year started at Star of the Sea:  1998

Small class size, concerned and cooperative parents, and interested and interesting students are some of the reasons I choose to teach at Star of the Sea.

Considering the many different ways that children learn, I try to vary my teaching methods to accommodate all styles.

My goal is to provide my students with the tools they will need to develop necessary learning skills.  I expose them to good literature in an attempt to encourage a love of reading, and most importantly, I try to instill a curiosity about their world.  The children gain a healthy respect for the diversity of cultures and a clear sense of their responsibility for the environment.
