I am so thankful to be able to teach at HCA! This is my first year at Heritage, and I teach 2nd grade and my 6th year in education.


This will be my first year teaching 2nd grade and I'm super excited to move up a grade level. My background has been in Montessori education (3 - 6 year olds), and I have also taught 1st grade. My daughter and I are so happy that God opened the doors for us both to be here! 


My favorite part of teaching is being able to witness when things really "click" for students outside of me. I love seeing when their love for learning or interest in a topic is intrinsically motivated - and helping them find that thing that hooks them into learning and growing!


I am originally from Washington State and have lived in Texas for a little over a year now. When I'm not at school, I love to play with my daughter, hang out with family and friends, and read. I also attend FBC Rockwall and have been so blessed to connect and grow my circle of close friends there too.
