About Me

I graduated from The University of Southern Maine with a B/A in English in 2009. While I was doing my English studies I was also earning my teaching certification through their Teachers for Elementary and Middle School Program. Upon receiving my certification I was hired to work with 6th, 7th, and 8th graders under Title 1 which supports low income school districts in Math and English. This work allowed me to actively be engaged in the students daily school life and work one-on-one with them inside the classroom. I was also allowed to collaborate with the teachers to modify lessons and materials for individual students. It was during this work that I realized my niche for teaching students in small groups or as individuals. My greatest asset in teaching is being able to connect with all students on a personal level and using that to advance their learning in education. Since my work under Title 1 I have returned to school and earned my Masters in Education, my certification in Secondary English, and secured a job in a resource room at Scarborough High School (a top 10 high school in the state of Maine).This involves working with students in all subject areas in all four grade levels. I find the work to be highly rewarding and I enjoy coming into my classroom everyday to experience a new and challenging behavior.
