I believe the foundation of meaningful learning is trust. When students and families feel supported, respected, and heard, they are better able to take risks, explore, and grow. I work to establish strong partnerships with each student and their family, knowing that collaboration is the key to success.

Before becoming a consultant and coach, I was an elementary classroom teacher for over 10 years, teaching grades 1–6. That experience grounds all of my work and keeps me connected to what students and families need most. Since then, I’ve facilitated professional learning at the district, city, and school levels, supporting teachers and leaders in developing strong, student-centered math practices.

At the same time, I deeply value working directly with students — whether one-on-one or in small groups — to meet their unique needs, build confidence, and make math meaningful and engaging. In addition to tutoring, I consult and coach through Metamorphosis Teaching Learning Communities, where you can read more about my professional background.
