Starting in 2014, I spent 11 months abroad teaching English to students from many different levels in Peru, Malawi, Cambodia and Vietnam. Upon returning to the states, I joined Teach for America. I was placed in San Antonio where I taught middle school English Language Arts and reading with SAISD for two years. I then became a 5th grade teacher with Great Hearts Academy which provides students with a classical, liberal arts education. After the birth of my son and with the pandemic going on, I took the year to be home with my family. I was able to help homeschool my daughters who are now going into 3rd and 5th grade.
