Fun Facts

Outside of work you can find me hiking, doing yoga, or soaking up the sun at the beach! I love being active and definitely bring that energy to the learning environment.

About Me

I am a former elementary school teacher and nanny. I have worked with children for the last ten years. I knew I wanted to have a career path involving children from a very young age. Now that I am a full time yoga and fitness instructor, my next goal is to start a children’s yoga club. I deeply enjoy helping kids in every way that I can. My warm and energetic personality can make children feel confident and learning is always a blast!

Experience

My career with children started in 2014 when I was in college working as a gym instructor for kids aged 1-10. After graduating from George Mason University in 2016, I began teaching at a private school for a mixed class of first and second graders. I taught for two years before making a transition more focused in the fitness industry. I became a nanny for a family of three while my fitness career took off and stayed with them for almost three years. This is my first year in almost ten that I have not worked with children in some way and I truly miss the connection and excitement in seeing kids spark up with joy as they learn.

Approach

Growing up in a wonderful area with one of the best education systems in America, I was extremely fortunate to always be surrounded by amazing educators. Thanks to the impact of my unforgettable teachers, it inspired my passion for working with children and helped shape my future. Growing up in a difficult home, my teachers always made me feel safe, heard, and seen. My goal as an educator is to provide that same feeling of safety to every child I encounter and ensure that they know how much power they have to a bright future.
