History
Elizabeth spent most of her childhood in upstate New York. After graduating from high school in 2001, she decided to venture across the country to Phoenix to attend Arizona State University. While reflecting on what career path to take, she decided to become a teacher. In 2005, she graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education. After teaching for nine years, Eizabeth decided to leave the classroom and open up a tutoring business where she could help children one on one.
Teacher of the Year
After graduating, Elizabeth was able to find a school that was a perfect fit for her. It was a multi-age, child-centered school, which had project-based learning through the arts. She was named “Teacher of the Year” as a result of her “all-in” commitment to her school community.
Personal
Elizabeth loves traveling and being outdoors. In the winter she likes to snowboard and in the summer she loves to surf and be on the water. Being active is a passion of hers. She currently lives in Scottsdale with her partner Yoshi and their sweet dog Riley.
