INSTRUCTOR PROFILE:
I grew up right here in Phoenix, Arizona. I’ve always had a passion for learning and for helping others discover their love for education too! I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education and went on to complete my Master’s in Educational Leadership. I also hold endorsements in Structured English Immersion (SEI) and have specialized training in several top literacy programs. Education truly feels like my calling, and I’m so excited to be part of the Peak team!
I’ve been lucky to spend over five wonderful years in the classroom, helping students grow and shine. During that time, I also served as a team lead and mentored new teachers and interns. I am trained in LETRS, UFLI, and the 95% Group programs, and I’ve helped create curriculum maps that weave together all aspects of literacy. Watching my students build confidence and celebrate their successes keeps me energized and inspired!
Building strong, meaningful relationships with my students is at the heart of everything I do. I take time to get to know each child’s strengths, passions, and needs so I can support them as a whole person, not just academically. I create a warm, encouraging environment where students feel safe to take risks, ask questions, and celebrate every bit of progress. My goal is always to spark a love of learning and help each student feel seen, heard, and valued.
I absolutely love getting lost in a good book, whether it’s for fun or to learn something new! I’m also a big fan of Pilates—it’s one of my favorite ways to stay active and recharge. Reading and Pilates bring so much joy and balance to my life, and they help me show up as my best self for my students every day.
At Peak, I offer tutoring in reading, writing, and foundational literacy skills for elementary students. I specialize in early literacy intervention, supporting students who need a little extra help building confidence and skills. I also love providing enrichment opportunities for students who are ready to stretch themselves and reach exciting new goals. I strive to make learning both fun and meaningful so that students can develop skills that will serve them for years to come.
