I’m thrilled to be a part of the amazing Eich staff! Having spent time teaching in a variety of school settings, I’m excited that Eich brings all my favorite parts of education together. I believe in educating each student from where they are in their abilities. Differentiating to meet the needs of all learners is a passion of mine, and I regularly utilize low floor-high ceiling and open ended problems in my class. This approach, along with our amazing IB units, makes learning accessible, relevant, and engaging.
