About
I am an early childhood and kindergarten teacher with more than 19 years of experience in international and multicultural classrooms. I hold a Master of Arts in Teaching in Early Childhood Education and an Illinois Professional Educator License for Early Childhood Education (Birth to Age 8). I just completed a Diploma in Montessori Teaching.
I currently teach Pre-Kindergarten in an International School in Bangkok, where I plan play-based and inquiry-based lessons for children ages 3 to 5. Before that, I spent twelve years as a kindergarten teacher at OISCA International Kindergarten School, designing learning experiences based on the Early Years Foundation Stage framework and Reggio Emilia-inspired practices. I have also taught as a kindergarten homeroom teacher and English teacher, and as a missionary English teacher in South Korea.
My strengths are classroom management, observing and documenting each child’s progress, and building safe, inclusive classrooms where every child belongs. I work closely with families and colleagues to support children’s social, emotional, cognitive and physical growth.
