Why teach at AU?
I have taught in the elementary classroom for the last 11 years, and I am excited to bring my experience from the elementary classroom to the education majors at AU! I am passionate about creating a culture in the Early Childhood Department that inspires future educators to create magical engaging learning experiences for their students. I hope to inspire our future educators to care for the whole child and to think outside of the educational box. Christian educators can make an incredible difference in the life of the students that they teach as well as any other stakeholders within the school. I am so excited to join the faculty at Anderson University and create meaningful relationships with students. The environment at Anderson University fosters a community of learners who strive for excellence, which will directly impact future generations.
