...I have been teaching at North Star for 10 years, all ten years in 6th grade. I love being a teacher at North Star and I love 6th graders!
When I was growing up, math was very challenging to me. As a result of my own struggle, I am extremely passionate about finding ways to help students makes sense of math. It has become my favorite subject to teach. I love to teach kids how to think critically about math tasks and to use models, pictures, diagrams and other strategies to solve problems.
In my spare time, I can usually be found somewhere in the mountains, running or on a hiking trail. I also enjoy traveling, and have been lucky enough to have visited five different countries so far.
I’m looking forward to another great year at North Star!
