TEACHING EXPERIENCE

My first 2 years of teaching were at a bilingual charter school on the East side of St. Paul. I taught a 6th grade self-contained classroom. I then taught three years at a dual language school where I really fell in love with bilingual education. I taught 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grade. In 2011, I moved to Cartagena, Colombia and taught 2nd grade for 2 years at an American bilingual school. Currently, I am a Learning Center Teacher. My responsibilities are to provide interventions to students grades 1-5.
