I've enjoyed supporting students as a Language Arts, Reading, and Social Studies teacher. I'm passionate about encouraging students to take ownership of their own learning through reading, writing, critical thinking, and exchanging ideas. My goal is for students to develop their skills to be successful academically and become a better version of themselves to be successful beyond my classroom.
