TEACHING EXPERIENCE

With Bachelors Degree in Elementary Education, I began my teaching career in Teach for America. I pursued my Masters in Education in Curriculum and Instruction at the time. I am now in my 9th year as an educator, and graduated recently with a PhD in Educational Leadership.

I firmly believe that all children deserve access to a great education. This includes access to quality resources and high effective teachers.
