Experience Summary
I have a Bachelors of Science degree in Elementary Education, a state of New Mexico teaching license, and currently seeking a Masters Degree in Educational Technology. My experiences include 7 years of teaching and coaching students ranging from ages 5 to 15, tutoring children within the community, and church youth department president ranging from ages 7 to 18. I have extensive experience working with children in a variety of settings, including outdoor programs.

Teaching Style
I believe that each child is a unique individual who needs a secure, caring, and stimulating atmosphere in which to grow and mature emotionally, intellectually, physically, and socially. It is my desire to help students meet their fullest potential by providing an environment that is safe, supports risk-taking, and invites a sharing of ideas. I am an educator because I have a passion for guiding students through the learning process. I encourage learning by creating a relaxed environment for students, stimulating conversation about concepts being presented and organizing material in a way that makes it easiest to understand.
