I prefer to get to know my students and build lessons around their interests, skills, and needs. I like to provide students with fun and engaging lessons, and guide them to resources to continue their learning well beyond our time together. I encourage students to take risks and not be afraid to make mistakes.

I have been a teacher for over 15 years and really enjoy helping students meet their goals. I have worked with students of all ages and ability levels. I have always been interested in applying technology to learning, and earned my M.A. in Educational Technology long before it was the cool thing to do. I truly believe that education has the power to change lives. I enjoy empowering my students to learn more about themselves and the world around them.

Although I have worked with students of all ages, I enjoy helping young adults explore their career options and decide on the path that is right for them. I believe we are all born with special talents, and we best serve ourselves and society by working in a field that best utilizes our strengths. I encourage everyone, or all ages, to do what makes them happiest. This can mean taking risks, like I did when I moved from the U.S. to Germany in 2023. But with great risks come great rewards.
