I am an early childhood educator originally from Brooklyn, New York. I currently reside in Charleston, South Carolina with my husband Matt and my cats, Butters and Goblin. I love being a teacher because my days are filled with everyday magic and I pride myself with being able to create environments where joy abounds, and where children can wonder, question, and explore freely. I delight in life’s simple pleasures—swatching new art supplies in my sketchbook, fresh flowers, and the smell of the rain. I am a perpetual list-maker and avid wearer of red lipstick. If I am not in the classroom, you can probably find me on my balcony surrounded by my plants and my furry buddies with my nose in a book, whipping up a globally-inspired meal in the kitchen, or bird-watching at a local park.
