Teaching is my truest passion, and I am a proud graduate of the Boston University School of Education. The cornerstone of my philosophy of education is the belief that every child is capable of educational success. I believe that the most effective way to achieve this goal is to recognize and understand the uniqueness of each individual child and his/her learning needs. By becoming aware of each student's strengths and needs, I am able to challenge students in their areas of strength and nurture and support their learning in areas of need. I also believe in the importance of creating a nurturing and inclusive learning environment where students are supported in their social, emotional and intellectual growth. My goal is for our classroom to be a community of learners based on mutual respect for individual differences. I want both you and your child to know that our classroom is safe learning environment where students are encouraged to share, learn from one another, and learn from me - just as I will learn from them.
I was born and raised in New York and moved to Chapel Hill, NC in May 2016. In my free time, I enjoy hiking, rock climbing, kayaking and reading. I also enjoy serving as a board member of several philanthropic organizations.

The Boston University Educator’s Affirmation
I dedicate myself to the life of an educator, to laying the living foundations upon which successor generations must continue to build their lives.
I dedicate myself to the advancement of learning, for I know that without it our successors will lack both the vision and the power to build well.
I dedicate myself to the cultivation of character, for I know that humanity cannot flourish without courage, compassion, honesty, and trust.
I commit myself to the advancement of my own learning and to the cultivation of my own character, for I know that I must bear witness in my own life to the ideals that I have dedicated myself to promote in others.
