About Me

My teaching career began in 2008 when I started teaching 4th grade for 3 years. I transitioned to middle school and fell in love with the age group. Since then, I have been working as a secondary math teacher, building confidence one child at a time. I am a New York State certified teacher. When I am not teaching I enjoy spending time with my 3 nieces who recently moved to Atlanta, Georgia.
