Aloha- I am excited to join Kirkwood Elementary as the CDC teacher for grades 3–5! After spending the past two years as a CDC teacher at Rossview Middle School, I am thrilled to begin this new chapter and become part of the Kirkwood family.
I am passionate about helping students grow academically, socially, and emotionally while ensuring they feel safe, valued, and supported each day. My experience includes six years in special education classrooms, two years as a kindergarten teacher, and three years as a counselor at a children's psychiatric hospital.
I hold a Bachelor's degree in Human Services and earned my teaching license through a teacher preparation program. I look forward to building strong relationships with students, families, and staff and creating a positive learning environment where every child can thrive.
