"I received my Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education (Major: ELA/Reading) from Grand Canyon University. I am state certified (Texas) to teach all subjects in Elementary/Middle school content. I have worked in the educational field for over 15 years and have been teaching for six years. I have taught Kindergarten, 1st, 3rd, and 4th grades with experience teaching in both public and charter school settings (both self-contained and departmentalized). In addition, I have worked at many Title 1 schools to provide additional resources (manipulatives, worksheets, resources, etc.) to children and families with various needs from various backgrounds. I have worked with gifted students, ESL/ELL students, and with students with special needs (ADD/ADHD, autism, dyslexia, etc.). I love working with children and having the opportunity to provide them with the resources necessary to help them be successful and watch them as they develop, learn, and grow.

As a highly qualified certified Elementary School Educator, I believe all students deserve the best education. As a classroom teacher, it is my duty to provide rigorous, differentiated, engaging lessons in a safe, positive learning environment that will make a difference and keep students focused while assisting them as they learn, grow, and build their skills. Building relationships and accommodating the individual needs of each student are essential to put them on the path to college readiness and future success." less...
