About

I am a committed and passionate elementary school teacher with more than 20 years of experience teaching in Kenyan public schools. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education, a Diploma in Early Childhood Education, and a Certificate in Primary Education. Throughout my career, I have consistently demonstrated the ability to create a positive, engaging, and inclusive classroom environment where learners feel supported and motivated to succeed.

I am adaptable, hardworking, and deeply committed to student growth. My teaching philosophy emphasizes creativity, individualized support, and strong classroom routines. I also value cross-cultural exchange and look forward to sharing my Kenyan culture while learning from the American education system through the Teach USA program.
