TEACHING EXPERIENCE

I have taught grades 6-12 in my teaching career, and I am currently teaching 6th, 7th, and 8th grades in a middle school.

MY TEACHING STYLE

I personally love using technology in the classroom; my students are encouraged to bring their school assigned devices and personal devices to aid in educational creativity. My lessons are tweaked based on what my students interests and needs are each year to keep students engaged.
