About Me

I am a graduate of University of Central Florida with a Bachelor's Degree in Political Science. I am currently a full time teacher at Arlington Middle School where I teach 7th Grade Civics. I have held this position for the past two years. Prior to working as a teacher at Arlington Middle School, I was a Social Studies teacher with the Bridge to Success program of James Weldon Johnson. In this position, I taught all three of the middle school social sciences 6th Grade World History, 7th Grade Civics, and 8th Grade US History. I am ESL/ELL certified. I have experience teaching students of multiple languages with varying English-language proficiency. In order to teach those students for whom the English language can be a barrier, I have developed a number of strategies to both deliver necessary content and improve language ability. Frederick Douglass once wrote, "If there is no struggle, there is no progress." I believe that anyone is capable of succeeding academically if they are willing to apply themselves and work hard. Learning is not easy. Learning is a challenge. If we are to succeed in life, we must advance ourselves mentally, therefore we must learn more and learn always.
