I am truly honored to step into this role and support your children during this special time. I am originally from Hawaii and a graduate of the University of Hawaii at Hilo.

My experience has shown that with the right balance of patience, creativity, and clear expectations, Grade 1 students thrive both academically and socially. It is truly a privilege to help pave the educational journey of these young minds.
