About the store

Experience

I've been in education since I was a sixth grader volunteering at my old pre-school. I worked at that same pre-school for nine years while I went to high school and later college to get my degree in elementary education. I did my student teaching in a first grade classroom and taught creative writing to sixth grade after school. I recently got hired in 2013 as a elementary teacher, my first year I taught second grade and now I am a kindergarten teacher.

Teaching style

Working with early learners has really made me see the importance of breaking things down and keeping my students moving. I've been doing a lot of reading this summer on Whole Brain Teaching as well as Daily 5. I am currently trying to do mix of both along with following our state provided curriculum.

Awards & shining teacher moments

For me, daily work in the classroom is an achievement.

My own education history

I was born and raised in Hawaii. I have a bachelor's degree in English along with a certificate and license in Elementary Education. I am currently pursuing a masters degree.

Additional biographical information

I enjoy sewing, baking, running, and reading.
