I am currently teaching fourth grade at a charter school in Glendale, Arizona. This is my second year teaching. In my work with tutoring students after school in reading, writing and math, I realized that I have a true passion for helping students who are struggling. I am working on my Arizona state cerification (I only need to complete the AZ/US Constitution tests). I am Spalding Certified and have taken and passed the AEPA exams in Elementary Education and Professional Knowledge. I am a member of KDP, an international educational honor society as well as a member of USDLA (United States Distance Learning Association).
