Mother first. Advocate always. Justice matters.

Hi, I am Mallory, and before teaching, I spent over 13 years as a dental hygienist, working in a variety of settings, including clinics supporting underserved communities. That experience, along with my degree in Health Care Administration, shaped how I see systems, access, and advocacy.

Now, as a special education teacher and mother, I bring that same care into my classroom. I believe in inclusive, trauma-informed, and strength-based learning, especially for students with complex needs.

At my core, I value integrity, justice, and growth. I’ve learned nothing from my successes and everything from my failures. Mistakes are how we learn; and I try to model that every day for my students.
