Experience

I am a teacher in Burbank, CA. I have worked with Title I, SDAIE, ELD, and other "at-risk" students, as well as Gifted and general education students. As a former middle school teacher, I have a good idea of how to provide rigorous, next generation learning materials for younger students.

Teaching style

I have had a lot of success by teaching students using things they know and love. I feel that my teaching is very student-centered. I use a variety of techniques in my classroom that have really helped me reach my students where they are. Above all, I love to have fun and I think that shows in everything I do as a teacher.

Masonic Middle School Teacher of the Year, 2013

My own education history

I attended the University of California, Davis where I graduated with Highest Honors in English. My minor was history. I currently hold a Single Subject credential in English and a Multiple Subject credential as well. I attended Cal State Long Beach for my teaching credential, but since I am a lifelong learner, I expect to continue my education.
