About: With over 10 years of teaching experience in WCPSS, I bring a passion for education and a commitment to student growth. Outside the classroom, I enjoy traveling—recent adventures have taken me to Tijuana, Budapest, Prague, and Amsterdam. I also love backpacking with friends, spending time in the gym, experimenting in the kitchen, and learning Spanish to better connect with my community.
