I have been teaching in sunny Florida for over 14 years. Teaching is my passion. I have taught PK, K, 1st and 2nd. Currently I teach 4th grade and love every minute of it. I hold a Master's Degree in Elementary Education, ESOL endorsement, ESE certification and a Mentor certification.
I try to make the learning experience as authentic and engaging as possible. Tapping into the student's interest, I bring topics that they want to learn about into the classroom and align them to our standards. My philosophy has always been teach smarter not harder!
