Working with children always has been and always will be a passion of mine. Prior to deciding that I would focus my attention on becoming a child psychologist I contemplated following in the footsteps of a number of my most influential role models: teachers. In my eyes, there's both a monumental responsibility and a fulfillment beyond words when you have been entrusted to educate our youth. While some may choose to see teaching as an insurmountable challenge, I see it as an unparalleled opportunity to do my part to better the lives of others, and an opportunity that I have taken advantage of countless times. In addition to tutoring algebra in my past, I have had the pleasure of serving as a summer camp counselor, an after-school activity facilitator, a pediatrics unit volunteer and a number of other child-based positions, many of which have taken place in the Madison area.

Teaching kindergarten and second grade was my passion for 20 years. As a classroom teacher, my students were provided with a warm, enthusiastic classroom environment defined within a framework of high yet achievable expectations. I've worked with students of all ability levels. Having twice acted as a teacher-facilitator for fifth grade students in the College for Kids summer program, I challenged students with reading and creative writing assignments that collaborated with the curriculum focus of the day. My classroom was defined by rules and consequences within a Love and Logic framework. During my years as a kindergarten teacher, it was necessary to provide students with a fun, stimulating, hands-on approach to learning so that they enjoyed coming to school on a daily basis. Creating the teacher/student bond is essential to achieving a successful and productive classro

I am known for my creative teaching style, and work to actively engage a student on their level and then bring them up to their highest potential. I apply an organized and clearly constructive approach to learning, and believe that making lessons as interesting as possible is key. As I've worked with many learning styles, I've come to see that the hands-on approach (global kinesthetic) , or "doing' is most affective. I love teaching, and want my student(s) to feel comfortable in asking questions, asking for clarification, and practicing skills. I graduated from the University of Wisconsin, Madison, with a Bachelor of Arts in English Literature and a voracious love of learning. Every subject in the Humanities held a fascination for me, and to this day, I read two books a week, write, draw, and study educational Psychology. years after my graduation, i earned my Secondary Teacher of E
