I worked in the public schools of Chicago for 4 years before moving internationally in 2012. I have since been working in a IB certified International School in Panama for the last 3 years. My experience ranges from Kindergarten to 4th grade as well as extensive work with second language students.
I have developed a love for the IB program and teaching through inquiry. It's amazing to see the minds of first graders light up as they find ways to explore independently and grow in the depth of knowledge through the learning experiences.
