About
I am a Washington D.C.-licensed Health & PE teacher with 20 years of international school experience, specializing in inclusive sports and student leadership. Beyond my professional credentials, I am a proud mother of twins. Raising twins alongside a lifelong teaching career has given me unmatched organizational skills, extreme adaptability, and a deeply compassionate approach to classroom management. I look forward to bringing my professional expertise and unique personal insights to a vibrant U.S. school community.
