About me

Originally from Chattanooga, TN, I have been living in Brooklyn for 5 years. This past spring, I graduated from Hunter College with a Master's in Elementary Special Education. I hold a Master's in Art History from the University of Memphis and a Bachelor's in Secondary English Education as well. As you can tell, I really love school, and I love helping nurture a love of academia in children too!

While I have taught 3rd grade for the last 3 years, I have worked with children for over a decade. Before becoming a teacher in 2020, I nannied for two families in the city - one with children aged 8 and 10 and the other aged 2 and newborn. I've also served as a tutor for elementary-aged children, and my background in elementary education makes homework help something I am particularly strong in. Currently, I volunteer on Sundays for children's church. In Memphis, I volunteered as a middle school soccer coach and nannied for several families there. I have worked with many ages in a variety of roles!

In my free time, I enjoy running and love to encourage others in their athletic pursuits. Another one of my passions is baking, and I always enjoy finding ways to cook with the children I work with. Also, I'm an avid reader, so trips to the library after school are one thing I try to do with the kids I work with. One thing that has remained consistent throughout my life is my love for working with youth. From elementary aged to high school, I find great purpose in being someone children can turn to for guidance during the tumult of adolescence.
