I've been an educator since 2009. Aside from 4th grade teacher, I have served as a reading interventionist, and am now an ELL instructional coach.

Teaching style

I am a firm believer in doing what you love! 🥰 I am a lover of food, music, technology, movies/pop culture, and kids - so I am always trying to integrate what I love into the classroom. ‍🏫 As a teacher, I am always embedding ELL strategies within my instruction and love finding and using new methods to keep learning fun and exciting. Some of my favorite technology tools include Google Classroom, Screencastify, Flocabulary and Kahoot!
