What is your favorite childhood book?
My favorite childhood books were the Junie B Jones series! 
 
What is your secret talent?
Crocheting! I love crocheting blankets while listening to audiobooks or watching my favorite shows. 
 
What is your favorite thing about teaching?
My favorite thing about teaching is building relationships with my students and getting to see their confidence in themselves grow throughout the year. Watching students realize that they can do hard things is so rewarding and special! 
 
What is your favorite subject to teach and why?
My favorite subject to teach is phonics! Teaching kids the “puzzle pieces” of reading and then getting to watch them put it all together to read words, sentences, stories, and books is so fun and exciting. I also love novel studies, especially when students really get invested in what we are reading. I love showing students the magic they can find in reading books!
