My own education history
I earned my degree in education with a focus on middle grades, and I’ve always been passionate about both literacy and science. Being able to teach both English and Physical Science has given me a unique perspective on how students think, learn, and connect ideas across subjects. I’m bilingual in Spanish, which has been a huge asset in building relationships and supporting language learners in my classroom.
As a lifelong learner, I’m constantly looking for ways to grow professionally and bring fresh, engaging ideas to my students—whether that’s through inquiry-based learning, hands-on labs, or collaborative classroom discussions.
