INSTRUCTOR PROFILE:
I grew up in sunny Pensacola, Florida and attended Florida State University, where I earned a Bachelor of Science in Information Technology with a minor in Computer Science. After spending some time in the tech space, I was recruited by Teach for America as a secondary math teacher. I moved to Arizona in 2023 and have since been teaching middle school math while earning my Masters in Secondary Education from Arizona State University.
I participated in STEM tutoring sessions throughout my college career, including instructing K-12 and undergraduate students on building websites, robots, programs, and graphic design projects. In addition to tutoring at Peak Academics, I offer my daytime students frequent1-on-1 after school tutoring opportunities to help them achieve their goals.
In my approach to teaching, I prioritize building strong, positive relationships with my students, understanding their unique interests, and adapting my teaching methods to fit their individual needs. I believe in the Whole Child Approach, which focuses not only on academic success but also on the social, emotional, and physical well-being of each student. By incorporating engaging activities and real-world applications into my lessons, I aim to make learning enjoyable and relevant. Additionally, I maintain open communication with students and their families to ensure a supportive and collaborative educational environment.
In my free time, I enjoy the outdoors! I love running and walking in the Arizona sunshine. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is what keeps me sharp. I’m also an avid music lover, and you can catch me playing bass guitar with my band. I also love to travel. I’ve been all over the world, and I still believe there is much to see!
At Peak Academics, I support learners in grades 5 through 9. While math is my specialty, I can help guide children who need extra support or enrichment in reading/writing, science, history, and executive functioning skills. I love learning alongside my students!
