My Teaching Career

I have been a full-time teacher since 2008. My first year out of the gates I taught beginning Spanish to elementary students. The next year I moved into the regular classroom. I started teaching 3rd grade, and then I moved schools and taught 4th grade for four years. I am currently teaching 5th grade. I really enjoy the fifth-grade curriculum. American History is one of my favorite subjects, and I feel like I can make a real impact on the hearts and minds of my students as I teach principles of leadership, patriotism, and equality. I work at a charter school, and I love it.

Teaching definitely has its challenges. In spite of it all, I love teaching. I have a supportive administration and amazing colleagues that keep me going when times are tough. I feel grateful for the opportunity to make a positive impact in the lives of my students. It is a privilege to catch a glimpse of their incredible potential and help empower them to become their very best selves. I feel that teaching is my calling, and I am proud to be called a teacher by day.
