Dear Parents,

- I am originally from Washington D.C. and moved to Richmond 6 years ago.
- I am a HUGE fan of reading and science.
- My favorite book is Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban because it was the first chapter book I read on my own as a kid.
- I love to stay active outside. A goal of mine is to visit every National Park in the United States.
Finally, I am super to excited to see how my students will grow and learn throughout the year.
