About Me

With 17 years of experience in education, I have dedicated my career to teaching young learners in grades PreK through 2nd grade. My approach to education is grounded in fostering independence, encouraging critical thinking, and inspiring students to be risktakers. I have taught internationally in diverse locations such as Ukraine, Egypt, and Hong Kong, and I am now enjoying my second year in Los Altos! These experiences have enriched my teaching perspective and methods. I believe in creating a learning environment where children feel empowered to explore, question, and challenge themselves, laying a strong foundation for their future growth and development.
