I have been teaching kids and adults for 17 years. I taught 1st grade for 4 years, 2nd grade for 2 years, 3rd grade for one year, and 4th grade for 6 years. In 2015, I became an Instructional Coach at an elementary school and started teaching adults. I love to teach using manipulatives, technology, and connecting learning to personal experiences. I believe that every student, no matter their age, deserves a quality education. As an educator, I have learned that all students are different and require different levels of support based on their needs. I love to see my students gain confidence and experience success academically. I make sure that my students feel and know that I am their biggest supporter and expect them to give 100% of their best effort at all times.
