About

I firmly believe that one of the most important traits for a teacher is to instill curiosity, excitement, and a love of learning for all members of the learning community. My goal is to provide an environment in which to pique curiosity and cultivate a sense of wonder so that students will be motivated to learn more on their own. I utilize many tools to enable my students to generate questions, think critically, and solve problems.
