Bold PointsBio
Education has been a passion of mine for as long as I can remember. I love those small moments when a student's eyes light up with understanding. I am a single mom and a first generation college graduate. I am very proud of my work ethic and perseverance. I am currently working towards a Master of Education in Curriculum and Instruction: Advanced Teaching Strategies. I am excited to advance my career as an educator and open doors for more opportunities farther down the road. I hope to help build learning experiences that will inspire students and push them to be the best learners they can be. In my free time I am usually traveling for my son's baseball game or listening to music. I try each day to find a balance between family, self-improvement, and education. I am working towards a future that myself and my son can be proud of.
