Experience

Here, you’ll find resources to help ALL students reach their fullest potential! I am an Advanced Academic Specialist and teacher of the Gifted and Talented in Texas. I work with kindergarten - sixth grade GT and highly capable students, and I work to support general education teachers as well! As a lifelong learner, I have achieved my National Board Certification in GT and am currently working on my doctorate focused on curriculum and instruction for gifted learners.

Teaching style

I believe in meeting the needs of all learners, including the gifted learners, and supporting each child to reach their fullest potential. I don't believe in teaching to the test. I find value in authentic learning experiences, creativity, and student choice.
