I have been in my school district for 8 years. I have been teaching 5th grade for the past 6 years. For the first two years, I was an aide working in many different classes in a variety of grade levels. I have a my Master's Degree in Reading and Literacy.

I believe in a hands-on approach that varies in styles and approaches. Each student learns in a different style, therefore information cannot be presented in one way. Teaching should engage students in auditory, visual, and kinesthetic approaches. Lessons and activities need to be geared towards the appropriate level and capabilities of the child. As an old chinese proverb says, "Tell me and I'll forget, involve me and I'll understand."

Graduated with a 4.0 in my undergraduate degree and master's degree.

Undergraduate Degree in Elementary Education and Psychology from Hofstra University. I graduated in August 2005. I received my Master's Degree in Science with a concentration of Reading and Literacy from Nova Southeastern University in August 2012.

I am the varsity cheerleading coach at my local high school. I have been coaching for 8 years, and formed a highly competitive cheer team over the past few years. The program has prepared my cheerleaders to continue their experience in their college years. I am very proud to be a part of a such a growing and successful program.
