Fun Facts

Getting to know me means learning that I truly have two passions. I love teaching but outside of teaching I truly enjoy anything dealing with technology. Soon I plan to explore ways to integrate the two so that I am able to do both things that I love. My favorite color is purple but I enjoy anything bright and colorful.

About Me

I am an elementary school teacher. I have been teaching for six years. Prior to teaching while attending Marymount University I worked part time as a tutor, home health aide nurse, and a babysitter. My degree is in Elementary Education and I am in the process of beginning a masters program to become a education/virginia/washington-dc">special education teacher.

Experience

My experience as a tutor extends as far back as high school. In high school I took advance placement classes and I was apart of the National Honors Society. I volunteered as a tutor in school and church programs. In college I did private tutoring in the areas of reading and math for elementary school students.

Approach

Since the age 6, I knew I wanted to be a teacher. I was always teaching myself or someone how to do things and I truly enjoyed it. In school I had a way of explaining things to my friends to help them understand better than the teachers could. As a teacher I use strategies to promote independence so the content I'm teaching is not only learned but conceptualized so that it can be applied in various ways and its truly understood. I consider myself an educated educator because I'm always learning!
