TEACHING EXPERIENCE

I have just completed my first year of teaching at a challenging Title I alternative middle school and have a wealth of knowledge, experiences, and resources to share! A lot of my activities are more creative or differentiated to appeal to multiple learning modalities. I also served as the Social Studies Department chair.

MY TEACHING STYLE

Many of my activities are more interactive and involve both creativity and higher order thinking. I enjoy hardcore learning mixed in with silliness and humor. I also love getting students to think outside of the box!

HONORS/AWARDS/SHINING TEACHER MOMENT

This space WILL be updated. I'm determined.

MY OWN EDUCATIONAL HISTORY

Graduated with highest honors from the University of Texas. Current Masters of Teaching student at the University of Louisville.
