Why I Love Teaching Math: " Bringing joy to the math classroom is important because it helps students see math as a place of discovery, creativity, and possibility. When we celebrate different ways of thinking, students learn that there isn’t just one “right path” but many ways to reach understanding. By playing with math—through puzzles, games, and exploration—students build confidence, curiosity, and a love of problem-solving that will carry into future learning. Joy makes math feel alive and accessible to everyone."

Why I Love Being a Coach: " I enjoy being a coach because of the opportunity I have to recognize strengths in others and empower others to grow in their practice. Being an Instructional Coach allows me to support educators in ways that are collaborative, responsive, non-evaluative, reflective and deeply impactful. Instructional coaching also allows me to stay grounded in both pedagogy and people. I get to share practices, discuss challenges, and celebrate wins while building trusting and respectful relationships. It’s incredibly rewarding helping teachers see the impact of their decisions on student learning through the power of collaboration."
