Hello! My teaching style is all about providing my students with one-of-a-kind experiences that help spark a life-long love of learning - no matter what the subject. I currently teach electives, including ASB Leadership (Student Council), INSPIRE Mentors (a program I started where 7th & 8th graders are 'big brothers/big sisters' to 6th grade students), Spanish 1 & 2 (beginning and native speakers), & EL Tech (a tech-based class for English Learners). In my classroom, students interact with one another in a way that shows mutual respect and genuine camaraderie, share their strengths in an effort to build up weaker areas, and raise their own expectations - taking them 'above and beyond' in all they do! There's never a dull moment and we have lots of fun, all the while staying true to my motto, "When you combine dreams with hard work and dedication, nothing is impossible!" Thank you for your support of my students!
