Teaching style
I love mixing it up. In a middle school environment, it is sometimes necessary to need to lecture. Still, I try to always include a hands-on experience or some form of technology in each lesson to keep their motivation high. Excited, motivated, engaged students will only make me more excited and motivated to be a better teacher.

My own education history
I received my bachelor's degree from St. Joseph's College in elementary (K- Grade 6) and special education (Birth to Grade 12). I received my master's degree from Long Island University in Literacy K-6. Beyond that, I have obtained 90 credits beyond my masters in various courses to help me further excel in literacy, science, social studies, and technology.
