I have worked as an elementary general education teacher, ELL middle school instructor and PE K-5 teacher for 13 years.I have taught in dual language Spanish/English programs and enjoy finding ways the my experience and expertise in language acquisition enrich my Physical Education classroom. I teach adaptive PE to special learners and am always looking for ways to make PE class more inclusive for all my students.
I bring energy and enthusiasm to my teaching whatever the subject. I assume competence and autonomy of my students and see myself as a guide and coach to their learning. I love dance, songs, being silly and encouraging growth in my students however incrimental that is. My students appreciate my organization and predictable structures. My colleagues enjoy my sense of humor and dependability.
I am a National Board Certiified Teacher in the area of Early Middle Chilhood Literacy
I have a Masters in Teaching with a certificate in Elementary Education and English as a New Language
I love to travel and meet new people, explore new places and learn about all the different ways people live. I have visited 32 countries of the world so far and plan to keep seeing all this big, beuatiful world has to offer. I have always worked in title 1 schools and love the diversity of experiences and strengths my students bring to me.
