Personal Statement
I have taught Kindergarten through eighth grade in public, private, and charter schools in Alaska, California, Florida, Idaho, and Utah. Before coming to WSD, my wife and I traveled extensively, visiting all the lower 48 states in our RV. My introduction to Weilenmann School of Discovery was as the long-term sub for Middle School Science and CTE starting in 2016.
Now as part of the fifth grade team, I look forward each year to inspiring students, making the learning engaging and relevant, and ensuring that parents are an informed, welcomed, and valued part of the process. I also work as an Instructional Coach for Upper Elementary and as a Teacher Mentor.
