I believe in every student's innate capacity to learn.

My teaching focuses on preparing a positive learning environment and a strong culture of learning where students feel safe to take risks, trust in the value of their effort and feel free to follow their curiosities.

The theories that guide my planning and instruction prioritize experiential, project-based and mastery-based learning.

The core values I incorporate into my classroom practice are integrity, transparency and community-building.
