I have always loved school, and always said I wanted to be a teacher (since I was 2).  I continue to love it because of my love of learning that I always strive to pass on to my students.

I'm here to give students a safe space and as much as a level playing field as possible. From my years of experience at an economically disadvantaged summer camp I know the importance of having at least one person to 'count on'... oh and helping students to learn the fundamentals of reading isn't a bad gig.

When I was in Kindergarten I knew I wanted to be a teacher. I loved learning and I loved helping others. When I reached second grade I met Karen Ellis. She became my why. She inspired me with her kindness, passion for teaching, work ethic and love. She helped me work on my craft up until the end. I want to be to kids what she was to me. A guide, a north star, a friend, and most importantly someone who fights for students.

I've always loved working with kids-from babysitting, to rec camp counselor- and it seemed like a natural progression to become a teacher. I love seeing the lightbulb go off when kids figure something out after a struggle. I continue to be an educator to be a positive force in kids' lives as well as my own girls'.

I have always loved children and being in school since I was young. I often joke that my first two students were my cats (which they were very well behaved students). I am an advocate for students and want all of them to grow up and be successful human beings. I continue to be a lifelong learner and will always be part of education for as long as I can.

I live for the opportunity to help others grow and learn, colleagues, students, parents and to learn myself.

I started out as long-term sub teaching English in seventh grade--Phew!  I loved learning, but the more time I spent with students the more I enjoyed them and their minds.  I wanted them to love learning and stay curious, and I still feel that way about the students and adults I work with.

I became an educator by default, in truth.  I was accepted into Teach for America right after college and have continued to be an educator since then.  My why is that every day is different and I enjoy helping to grow little people.

I want to create spaces that students want to learn and enjoy their time in the classroom. This photo is part of my crew from Paraguay. They were a challenging group to engage but you can see the kids are working together to explore solids, liquids and gases.

I got into education, specifically Special Education, after I had my son  and starting working as an aide in a developmental preschool. I wanted to help all children that may need some extra help reach their fullest potential. Crystal

I started my journey in education and continue to work hard everyday because I want to be a part of helping all students succeed, especially those that have barriers.
