I am passionate about instilling confidence in the students in my classroom. I firmly believe every student can experience success in math. My goal is to be a safe, consistent adult in their life who creates a safe classroom environment where learning happens and making mistakes is okay. I love getting to know students inside and outside of the classroom, whether through coaching sports or showing up at their band concert. Middle school math truly is my dream job and Timberline is the best of the best.
