Bixby School since 2021
I have been a classroom teacher since 2006 and am thrilled to continue my teaching journey at Bixby. I believe that my role as a teacher is to facilitate my students’ learning through a hands-on, minds-on curriculum in a collaborative, creative, and safe learning environment. I strive to create a classroom that emphasizes problem-solving, social/emotional development, and critical thinking skills. I believe that curiosity and choice drive engagement and excellence and that enduring learning requires meaningful work, critical thinking, and productive struggle.
When I’m not at Bixby, I enjoy campervan trips with my daughters and husband, long neighborhood walks with my dog, and traveling to see friends and family.
