As someone who is from the DMV area, I am very excited to start my teaching career at McLean School to help the community that has helped shape who I am today. I have always been passionate about motivating and inspiring the youth through the power of literature, and helping them discover confidence in themselves as learners.

I earned my bachelor’s degree in Educational Studies from Ursinus College, where I was actively involved in the Bonner Program and competed as a member of the Track & Field team. I am also a current graduate student at George Washington University pursuing a master’s in Educational Leadership and Administration. These experiences strengthened my passion for service, leadership, and building meaningful relationships with others.

I strive to create a classroom where every student feels seen, supported, and encouraged to grow both academically and personally. I feel truly blessed to be part of such a welcoming and supportive community at McLean School, and I look forward to learning, growing, and celebrating successes alongside my students and colleagues each day.
