With over 25 years of experience with children as both a teacher and a longtime nanny, I bring a deep understanding of child development, patience, and connection to my classroom. I became a teacher because I believe in the power of education to change lives—just as my own teachers once did for me. I love seeing “lightbulb moments” when learning clicks and confidence grows, and I work to create a space where students feel valued, supported, and encouraged. Guided by my favorite verse, Jeremiah 29:11: “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a future and a hope,” I focus on teaching both academics and character—especially kindness and resilience. Outside school, I enjoy time with my daughter, Kali Dior, our pets, reading the Bible, cooking, and traveling. I’m grateful to be part of this loving, Christ-centered school community.
