Summary
I am a veteran teacher of 11 years certified to teach EC-4th Generalist, ESL, Gifted and Talented and Art EC-12. I taught from 2005-2016 until the birth of my 2nd child when I resigned so that I could pour into my children during their early formative years. From 2017-2022, I challenged myself with flexible part time jobs. I taught English to pilots, wrote biographies for a real estate publication, and was a marketing assistant for a real estate company.
