TEACHING EXPERIENCE

After teaching elementary school for 10 years, I’ve been in four states, in multiple schools, and worked with different age groups, demographics, and populations. I’ve learned so much from the teachers I’ve worked with and from the kids and parents I’ve had the privilege of knowing.
