I am thrilled to step into the role of Co-Head Teacher in Morningside. Before joining the Lang community, I taught children from kindergarten to fourth grade as a general education teacher, and as a dance teacher. I am trained in Orton-Gillingham at the classroom level and have a deep passion for teaching ELA. Watching children discover the joy of a good book is one of my greatest rewards as an educator. I believe that school should be a place where students find safety, community, and the opportunity to explore what interests them. Outside of school, I can be found climbing up on a rock wall, with my face buried in a book, or curled up with my cat, Arthur.
