Education & Certifications
MA in Teaching (Elementary Education), BA in French Language and Literature from I went to the Concordia University, St. Paul for my MA degree. I went to the University of Missouri-Kansas City for my BA degree. (Graduated from my MA program in December of 2023. I graduated from my BA program in May of 2021.). I have a well-rounded background in education shaped by experiences both as a student and as a teacher. As a student, I learned the value of inclusive and engaging classrooms where curiosity and collaboration drive growth—principles that now guide my own teaching. Professionally, I have taught in both elementary and secondary settings, including serving as a 4th grade classroom teacher and as a resource special education teacher for middle and high school students. In these roles, I’ve supported a wide range of learners by designing lessons that build academic skills, social strategies, and confidence. My teaching emphasizes student-centered learning, empathy, and mutual respect, ensuring that all students have the opportunity to thrive.. Yes, in elementary education (K-6th).
