My commitment to education developed directly through hands-on work in our local schools. Starting with active classroom volunteering, PTSA leadership, and supporting students as a General School Assistant, I found that the work energizing me most was standing right in the classroom, guiding learning, and building that daily trust with students. That clarity led me to complete my Master's in Curriculum and Instruction with a Reading Endorsement, student-teach in 4th grade, and teach as a substitute across Grades 1–5 throughout our local districts.

That instructional foundation is supported by strong personal adaptability. Growing up as a military child across eight different schools taught me how to navigate change and connect quickly with people from all backgrounds. Later, managing operations in multinational corporate environments built my communication and organizational precision. Moving to the U.S. and raising a multicultural family deepened that cross-cultural agility and commitment to our local school community. In the classroom, that translates to a calm, predictable, and inclusive environment where every child feels grounded, understood, and ready to learn.
