I graduated from Florida Gulf Coast University with a Bachelor of Arts in Elementary Education. I am a certified Elementary teacher for grades K-6 (English, Math, Science, and History). I have a Reading Endorsement and an ESOL Endorsement. I have been a teacher for six years in the state of Florida with three years in first grade and four years in fifth grade. I have experience working with students with diverse backgrounds, learning abilities, and styles. I also have two years of experience working as an Online ESL Teacher teaching English as a foreign language. I am an expert in teaching Phonics and Reading skills to children. I have a love of literature and helping children see that reading can be fun. Teaching and helping children reach their fullest potential is my passion. It is my mission to cultivate a love for learning in a fun, safe, and caring environment.
