As Educator, I have been teaching for three years in Charter Schools within the Los Angeles area. Within my 3 year I have taught 6th, 7th, and 8th grade history with a focus on Common Core State Standards. In addition, I have had the pleasure of teaching an intensive writing and reading courses.

I believe that the person who do the most in the classroom, do the most learning. My teaching style and lesson design reflects this. Many of the lesson I design will ask students to critically think, reflect on what they are learning, and create connections to the present rather than simply learn historical facts. In addition, as a educator who services ELL and academic language learners, my lessons will meet the needs of students who struggle with reading, writing and comprehension. I do this through the use of graphic organizers, sentence frames, among other reading and writing strategies. Lastly, I have grown as an educator in the climate of CCSS, so my lesson will focus on Common Core standards, ideas, and skills.

Received my B.A. in International and Intercultural Students along with Africana studies from Pitzer College. I went on to start my teaching career with Teach for America and have been teaching ever sense. While teaching, I received my Master's in Urban Education with an emphasis in Policy and Administration.
