As an educator with a Doctorate in Education from the University of Houston and over five years of classroom experience, I am passionate about unlocking each student's potential through tailored learning strategies. My expertise spans subjects such as Algebra, AP Human Geography, and AP Economics, allowing me to meet students where they are and address their unique learning challenges. I believe that understanding a student's specific sticking points is crucial; it's not just about what they don't know, but why they struggle. This diagnostic approach enables me to fill knowledge gaps and build confidence, transforming their learning experience. My teaching philosophy emphasizes a supportive and adaptable environment, where students can express their understanding in various ways, fostering mastery of concepts. Ultimately, my goal is to empower learners to articulate their thoughts and knowledge, guiding them towards academic success and self-discovery.

I enjoy spending time with family when we can all be together. I also enjoy cooking, cleaning, reading, and being in nature. I love being by the water and going on hikes. I am a big coffee fan - and love watching live sports.
