A little bit about me

I’m a passionate and dedicated educator currently studying Elementary Education and Special Education at Purdue University, with a focus on Mild Interventions. I love working with kids and creating engaging learning experiences that meet them where they are. Through my experiences as a teaching assistant, research assistant, and classroom volunteer, I’ve developed strong skills in small-group instruction, behavior management, and hands-on learning.

I’ve worked with students of all ages, from kindergarten to middle school, and I thrive on finding creative ways to support their academic and social-emotional growth. Whether it's leading science labs for preservice teachers, helping students with disabilities, or coaching dancers at summer camp, I always aim to foster a positive, inclusive environment. I’m excited to bring my energy, organization, and student-first mindset to a role where I can make a real impact in the classroom!
