Best thing about Parkland: The students are fantastic and my favorite population that I have ever taught! They are incredibly open, eager, and willing to learn. 

What to expect in my FYE class: The goal of my classroom is to create an open, inclusive, and welcoming space for all students that is student-centered and discussion based. My hope is that students learn more about themselves, gain a sense of belonging at Parkland College, and gain the capital to successfully navigate their college experience and beyond. 

Hobbies & Interests: I am a wife and a mother to two wonderful children- so I enjoy a lot of family time and memory making! I also own my own photography business specializing in family photography. In my spare time, I enjoy working out, baking, listening to indie folk music, and reading more about personal development.
