MY TEACHING STYLE

I focus on using a variety of collaborative and interactive strategies. I utilize many Kagan strategies to foster a collaborative learning environment. My lessons are designed to fit the Marzano evaluation scale and address the Florida Language Arts standards.

HONORS/AWARDS/SHINING TEACHER MOMENT

I graduated in the top 10% of both the USF 2016 undergraduate class and the UF 2018 graduate class.
