I became an educator because I find true joy in helping students with different learning needs, and I love the challenge of finding creative and effective ways to support them. Every student’s journey is unique, and I’m deeply motivated by the opportunity to make a real difference in their lives. Seeing their growth, no matter how big or small, reminds me of why I chose this path.

Prior to Equitas, I worked with younger children in elementary and middle school. I truly loved what I did but I reached a point where I felt ready for a new challenge. I wanted to expand my impact and grow professionally by working with older students as they prepare for the next major steps in life.

I chose Equitas because I was inspired by the opportunity to be part of building something from the ground up. Opening a new school presents a unique set of challenges, but it also allows for the chance to help shape its culture, values, and direction from the very beginning.

Outside of school, I enjoy being outdoors..nature walks are one of my favorite ways to relax and recharge. I also love traveling and experiencing new places, especially when it comes to trying local foods.
