Bio

With a Master of Arts in Teaching and a Master of Science in Environmental Education, I bring a unique blend of classroom expertise and hands-on environmental knowledge to every lesson.

With a Master of Arts in Teaching and a Master of Science in Environmental Education, I bring a unique blend of classroom expertise and hands-on environmental knowledge to every lesson. Over five years as a public school teacher, I've developed a deep understanding of how learners at every stage think, grow, and build skills — and over twelve years teaching environmental education, I've learned how to make even the most abstract concepts come alive through curiosity, observation, and real-world connection.
I work with students across a wide range of ages, from early learners building foundational literacy and numeracy skills to older students looking for support in specific subjects. I tailor every session to meet each student where they are and help them grow with confidence.
I'm currently accepting new students for targeted, short-term support through early November, before I begin maternity leave. This makes me a great fit for families looking for focused help before heading back to school, or getting extra support on a specific skill or subject in the beginning of the school year.

I have been teaching in various capacities for over 15 years, and for 5 years in California public schools. I have a teaching credential, a MA in Teaching and a MS in Environmental Education. I am passionate about education and bring curiosity, creativity and connection to all subjects.
Environmental Science

Environmental Science

My Master of Science in Environmental Education gives me a strong foundation in ecological concepts, field-based learning, and how to translate scientific ideas into age-appropriate lessons. Over twelve years teaching environmental education, I've led students through hands-on investigations of local ecosystems, wildlife, and natural processes, building both scientific literacy and genuine curiosity about the natural world. Combined with five years of public school teaching experience, I know how to break down complex environmental science topics into clear, engaging lessons tailored to each student's level. Whether it's food webs, climate systems, or the water cycle, I help students connect classroom concepts to the world right outside their door.
