Notable employment in your field: Six years as second grade teacher in the Glendale Elementary School District, where I mentored three student teachers and served as a new teacher mentor.
What are you most passionate about in your field? I was very fortunate to have a multitude of amazing mentors and colleagues when entering the field of education. Being a first-year teacher is crazy hard! I feel a great need to give back to the community of educators that gave me such great support by preparing future/current teachers with the tools they need to have long, happy and successful careers!
What aspect of your teaching style is the most distinctive and/or memorable? Technology integration. I am constantly on the lookout for new cool tools that support student engagement and efficiency in the classroom. I stumbled across the Flipgrid video discussion tool several years ago, and it has been really rewarding to see how it has been applied by many faculty here in different ways after presenting and sharing about it.
What do you like to do for fun in your spare time? Spending time with my family is number one! My husband and I are very busy with three rambunctious little boys all under the age of 5. I love to read and I enjoy traveling to new places, so long as I do not have to plan the trip. I like to just show up and have my husband take care of all the boring details.
What is something interesting about you that most people don't know? I was a competitive figure skater for about seven years.
