This will be my 18th year of teaching and my 10th year at Belvedere ES. I have been a 3rd grade and 4th grade teacher as well as the AART at Belvedere. I am excited to return as the PYP Coordinator for the 5th year!

I grew up in Falls Church, went to Falls Church High School (Go Jags!), and Virginia Commonwealth University (Go Rams!).

My favorite part about working at an IB school is working with amazing teachers to build units of inquiry for our students. I love seeing student thinking and watching them take action on issues they care about.

My hope this year is that each learner feels seen, valued, and celebrated. My dream is that all our Bulldogs become internationally-minded, life-long learners.
