Teaching style
I would describe my teaching style as energetic and young-at-heart. My motto is if you are having fun then they are having fun. My goal in teaching is to create life-long learners by intertwining all subjects together, rather than making good readers or mathematicians.
Awards & shining teacher moments
Both degrees received with magna cum laude status.
My own education history
I received my bachelors in Special Education from the University of Florida and I received my masters in Early Childhood Education from the University of Florida.
