Summary
As a Dual Language Elementary School Teacher with six years of dedicated experience, I bring a passion for fostering language acquisition and cultural appreciation in my students. Serving as a mentor teacher at the University of Arizona has allowed me to guide and inspire future educators while honing my own teaching skills. Within TUSD, I collaborate closely with both the Culturally Responsive and Language Acquisition departments, ensuring an inclusive and supportive learning environment for all students. Additionally, I initiated a pioneering program at my current elementary school, fostering a love for environmental stewardship and leadership among our future generations.
