Summary
Embarking on my second year as a certified teacher, my educational journey spans over eight years, touching the lives of students from Pre-K to high school. My path to becoming an educator began in college while pursuing a degree in Special Education, where I gained invaluable experience working with 2nd and 3rd grade students during my student teaching, led a Pre-K 3 class, and broadened my perspective by substituting in a high school setting. Last year, I further expanded my teaching repertoire by instructing middle school science, before assuming my current role as a 4th grade teacher, covering a wide range of subjects from math and science to reading, language arts, and social studies.
