With each of my experiences working with children my passion for education has grown. I first came to Austin to work with a Spanish literacy intervention program through Americorps called A Community for Education (ACE). After my service with ACE I taught at a dual language (Spanish-English) school for five years. I taught kindergarten, first grade, and second grade in math, reading, writing, and science. I am currently a graduate student pursuing my master's in speech language pathology, which I plan to practice in the schools. I believe the care and attention of teachers for students is integral to the development of a healthy, happy child. I enjoy getting to know the children I work with and watch their personalities and minds develop.

Q&A with Anna

My teaching philosophy is to ensure that a student is confident in his or her skills. This is accomplished by helping the student learn from his or her mistakes, encouraging the student to ask questions when he or she does not understand, and having the student apply the concept in multiple ways.
