I am so excited for another year at Lang, and I feel so lucky to be part of such a welcoming and inspiring community. My love for working with children began at the Child Development Center in Harlem, where I first discovered the joy of helping little learners grow and thrive. Since then, I’ve worked in a variety of school settings and even dabbled in ABA, which taught me the value of a flexible, child-led approach that allows kids to shine in their own unique ways.
One of my greatest passions is social-emotional learning. I believe that when students feel safe, understood, and connected, academics, friendships, and confidence naturally falls into place. Helping children develop these skills and watching them carry that growth beyond the classroom is one of the most rewarding parts of my work.
When I’m not at Lang, you can usually find me at the gym, out on a hike, journaling, reading, or traveling to new places. These passions keep me grounded, curious, and inspired.
