Favorite Childhood Memory: One of my favorite memories as a child was learning about sea life when I was in the third grade. My teacher created activities that made the classroom into a kelp forest. With everything that we learned, we went to the Birch Aquarium for a field trip.

My Vision of the Child: Children are active learners. They learn through observation and experience. I find it important to treat all students with respect and kindness. I encourage children to be kind and show courage. All children learn differently, thus it is important to understand the whole child.

Bio: My philosophy of education has developed through my past eight years of working in education. I believe that children can thrive in a learning environment where they are able to explore, experiment, and wonder in a naturalistic setting. I believe that through teacher guidance the child can enhance his or her cognitive, social, intellectual, physical development to express their emotions. This form of environment is loving, supportive, and safe.
