From 2011-2019 I taught students of all ages as a gymnastics instructor at The Little Gym. This is where I learned the basic principles of classroom management and a love for teaching. Who would have thought I learned about learning progressions and differentiation while teaching gymnastics? In 2019 I began my next journey as a one on one for a middle school student. I observed many teaching styles and delivery of academic lessons. Always wanting to be a teacher, in 2021 I made my dream a reality by going back to school to get my bachelors. This is when I learned how much I enjoyed creating my own lessons, leaving my professors amazed with my work. In May 2024 I graduated with my Bachelor's in Educational Studies from Grand Canyon University! I have moved from a one on one/teaching assisted position to a building substitute. On days where I am not assigned, I work with MTSS providing additional math support to select students.
