Hello! I am pleased to begin my first year at Community Charter School. I completed a BA in History and minor in Secondary Education at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte in Fall 2024, and prior to beginning here at CCS I've completed a full year of student teaching—earning my North Carolina education licensure in the process—and a semester as an Instructional Assistant in K-6 classrooms. Though this will be my first year as a fulltime classroom instructor, I'm eager to do my best to prepare my students for the educational trials and tribulations of high school!

I feel my philosophy on education can be best described by the Benjamin Franklin quote: "An investment in knowledge pays the best interest." I understand that not all students will share my passion for the content we discuss, but I believe that providing them with a well-rounded education and building their critical thinking skills is nonetheless the most important job of any teacher.

It's my hope to help all of my students feel seen and heard as they move through this important transitional period of their lives. I look forward to a wonderful year!
