I have been teaching for 15 years! All of those years have been with K-8 students who need extra social emotional learning needs (SEL). I love teaching here at Oakwood in the lower grade SEL unit. Little kids are my favorite to teach. We have so much fun reading, doing math, art, working on speech, occupational therapy, and learning to live and play with friends.

I love Oakwood community! This is my happy place. I love being around the kids. It’s so fun to teach and learn from students every day! My favorite part of teaching is seeing students grow! Outside school, I’m a henna artist and I love dance and yoga. I enjoy sharing my culture with my students!

I am so grateful to be at Oakwood! When I’m not teaching, I love spending time with my family, traveling with my husband, or taking a pilates class. I love being an Owl and wouldn’t want to be anywhere else!
