Beyond the classroom

When I’m not helping students find their "aha" moments, you'll find me exploring New York City with my husband and two kids, traveling, reading, or belting out my best karaoke performance. A love of travel means I’m always planning the next adventure — and bringing back new insights to share with my students.

I believe that a full life makes me a better teacher. My curiosity, energy, and sense of humor show up in every session — making learning feel less like work and more like a conversation.
