I found my love of learning and my love for teaching at Rivendell. I started my journey with Rivendell as a student, and many years later I had to opportunity to teach summer camps here. I was then able to start teaching full-time, first in Preschool, then Younger Kids, and now in Middle Kids.
I have enjoyed working with various ages, personalities, and learning styles, and I found my fit in Middle Kids.
My goal when teaching is to recognize that every student has unique strengths and struggles and to meet them where they are to best appropriately challenge them. I also create an environment that encourages asking questions and feeling comfortable making mistakes.
When I’m not teaching, I love to go on walks with my dog listening to all kinds of music and podcasts. In the warmer months, you’ll find me paddleboarding with my husband any chance we get. In the colder months, I love to try new recipes and cook for the people I love.
