She has a great deal of experience with children and is dedicated to making her third year an incredible one for her students. She is also committed to keeping up with Spanish language and culture which is why it is her goal to travel to Spanish-speaking countries as much as she possible!

In her free time, she loves to be outside, be active, spend time with family and friends, and travel.
