Personal Background: I have a BA degree in Elementary Education from Whitworth University and have taught in Spokane and Mead School Districts as a substitute teacher.  This is my second year at North Wall.  My husband, Christian, and I have two children, Madilyn and Carter, who both attend North Wall. I have always loved working with children, and I am so blessed to be a part of the North Wall Family!

Philosophy of Teaching: As an educator of young children, I am honored to have the opportunity to facilitate their learning and help them explore their world. Children are constantly learning, and it is my responsibility, as their teacher, to make sure that the learning process is wholesome, effective and enriching. I believe that each child is beautifully and wonderfully made, and because of this, I am committed to embracing their individuality and different learning styles.

Goals for the Class:

  • To develop self-awareness & empathy
  • To provide developmentally appropriate, stimulating curriculum
  • To celebrate each child’s individuality 
  • To provide unconditional love and encouragement
