About Me

I am a graduate of University of Houston-Downtown with a Bachelor of Science in Interdisciplinary Studies. After graduating, I received my teacher certification from Texas Teachers of Tomorrow. I am certified in Core Subjects EC-6, ESL EC-12, and English 7-12. I spent my first two years in an intermediate school teaching 6th grade Science and Social Studies and then a year teaching 5th grade Reading. For my third and fourth years of teaching, I moved up to 7th grade Reading. I have experience teaching a wide variety of students from English language learners, SPED, to the academically advanced. While teaching, I went to school online at Grand Canyon University where I received a Master of Science in Instructional Design. I love to read so this is where my passion lies in teaching. I have found that students have the most trouble with reading comprehension, test type questions, and writing constructed responses. They struggle with developing their critical thinking from the "what" to the "why". It is my goal to help students dive deeper into stories to develop their reading and writing abilities.
