My love for learning started when I was an elementary school student and has only deepened since then. I have dedicated my career to helping children develop their own love for learning with the intention that passion for knowledge will carry them through high school, college, and beyond.
In 2002, I graduated Magna Cum Laude with Honors from the University of Arizona in Elementary Education. In 2006, I completed my Master's in Education and graduated Summa Cum Laude. I specialize in Curriculum & Instruction.
In 2002, I started a career at EDUPRIZE SCHOOLS (the first charter in Arizona) as both an elementary teacher and middle school teacher (grades 4th-8th.) I taught there for 10 wonderful years. Nonetheless, I left with the intention of exploring new ways to impact education and found what I really love... working with students one-on-one. That was the best decision I could have made.
My priority has always been to make learning fun! It is exciting to design a specialized curriculum based on the unique needs of each child. It i’s even more exciting to witness their curiosities pique as their confidence builds! My individualized plans ensure each child's specific needs are met and are provided in a format that best accommodates each student's particular learning style. Their success is truly my greatest reward. With the Focus Tutors team, I support students in general homework, math, organization, and study skills.
