I am a graduate of the University of Rio Grande. I received my Bachelor of Science in Early Childhood Education. Since graduation, I have spent three years teaching preschool to low-income, high-risk students. I have also tutored kindergarten through third-grade students in reading and mathematics. I have a passion for helping young students get excited about learning, and finding their strengths. In my free time, I enjoy reading, painting, traveling, and spending time with my family. I have five children ages 16 through 6, and eleven fur babies (4 dogs and 7 cats).
