Bachelor's Degree (SDSU): Reading with Education Concentration Master's Degree (Texas Women's University): Library Science with School Library Concentration Philosophy of Education: The 2020-21 school year will be my 21st5 year as an educator. I have experience working with both elementary and middle school students. This experience gives me a unique perspective on the challenges students face moving from the safety and comfort of the elementary school to the greater independence of middle school I hold a developmental view of learning and understand that students gain proficiency at different rates. I have positive expectations for all learners and a desire to help each student discover his/her dreams and intentions. I am also fortunate to continue as Hilltop Middle's teacher librarian part-time this year and will provide students with club opportunities as well as access to eBooks during distance learning. |

Bachelor's Degree: History and Sociology Master's Degree: Education Philosophy of Education: Nothing matters more than human connections. In the mini-world of our classroom, the students learn the foundation of being productive citizens, both in the understanding of other cultures, as well as their ability to communicate effectively. Outside of the classroom, I teach students to be agents of change in our community with FLAGS Club. |
