Summary

I am a retired bilingual and GT certified teacher with 30 years experience in grades 1-3. Throughout my career I received high marks on state testing. I was observed by other teachers in the district and had the opportunity of having several student teachers. I retired after 30 years and returned to San Benito CISD as an interventionist and helped students in grades k-5. As my love for my profession continues I am seeking employment where I can continue fostering the love of learning and creating life long learners.
