TEACHING EXPERIENCE

I am an educator with 8 years of experience across various disciplines. I began my career as a Breakthrough Collaborative Volunteer 9th grade Teacher, 2nd grade teacher's assistance, and homeschooling tutor. Later, I joined Teach For America and earned my FL Teaching Certificate in General Science. Eventually, I earned the honor of being my school's Science Department Chair and Lead STEM Teacher.

MY TEACHING STYLE

I am a big advocate for flipped classrooms and modified flipped classroom. My teaching style involves being a facilitator instead of a lecturer. I focus on engagement and learning from "doing".
