Summary
The rewards and challenges of teaching are very motivating.

My Florida State License was renewed in 2019 with an endorsement in gifted education. For many years another accomplishment was successfully leading the Math Team to victory. My goal is to be an integral part of education either in the classroom or in a pullout program. Authorized to work in the US for any employer
