My Students

I am truly happy and lucky to work with these diverse and unique students every day. My learners are proud of their accomplishments but also struggle with their weaknesses. This school year, I want my students to be successful in as many classes as possible.

My teaching career so far has been the greatest roller coaster ride of my life.

I have met so many great teachers that I love to work with and learn from. The accomplishments of my students keep me going and I am happy to continue to improve myself as a teacher for them.

My Project

All of my students, k-12, deserve the opportunity to learn more hands on robotics through stem learning. By attending this conference I will be able to do more In-depth coding classes. I will also be able to begin using robotics at our school. My students deserve the opportunity to farther their education using different stem classes and I’d love to be able to bring my newly learned knowledge back to them. My students are so excited that I have been given this opportunity and I can not wait to show them what they are able to do with coding and robotics that they can use in the future!
