Favorite Part of Ryan: 
I love being a part of this great learning environment.
There is a real commitment to working hard and being respectful.
I appreciate all the support from the families I work with in the classroom.

Personal Teaching Philosophy: 
I believe that children learn best through an integrated hands-on approach.
I teach with an emphasis on experiential learning combined with art, movement,
drama and imagination to bring out the potential for success from each student.
Each student is respected, challenged, encouraged, and motivated to learn.

I love to be outdoors doing anything physical. I particularly LOVE hiking,

I take art and drumming lessons. I spend most of my weekends in Vail with my husband.
