Hobbies
I am a certified teacher, with a Master's in Education (focused in digital teaching and learning). My passion in education is one-on-one instruction. I love the chance to build a relationship with my students and help build up their academic confidence. I worked as a teacher and tutor in San Diego for 3 years before having my son. My family and I moved to Austin this year so that my husband could begin his graduate program at UT. I love finding fun and new restaurants, running outside, cooking, and playing with our Puggle, Rascal. I would love to meet YOUR student and discuss ways that I can support and enrich his or her education!
