I am currently a student at Nevada State College majoring in Elementary Education. I have worked in a school-type environment while I was in Greensboro, NC. I worked as a teacher's assistant for the Center for Visual Artists in which I worked with children in pre-kindergarten to fifth grade. I have a passion for teaching and working with children. I am a native Spanish speaker and enjoy passing along my knowledge to others. In my college coursework, I have gotten the opportunity to observe numerous classrooms and work directly with students. I love hands-on learning and think it is important to listen to the student's concerns and questions. If a child learns best by drawing, then we can draw!

I earned a B.S. in Mathematics with an emphasis on logical thinking. The rigorous course work associated with an undergraduate degree in Mathematics has allowed me to navigate through life's decision-making tree with great accuracy. After completing 7 years in the financial services industry, I turned to continued learning in technology at different universities. During that period I had the opportunity to gain approximately 2 years experience as a substitute teacher and tutor. Recently, I have focused on helping and tutoring high school athletes who are showing promise in possibly going to college on scholarship. A student matriculating through the public education system has a much higher hurdle to cross than I did 20 years ago. The financial burden associated with gaining a higher education and the increased academic challenge can sometime require added time and attention. In tutoring

I employ a number of different tactics while teaching. My main focus is using open-ended questions which help students understand not only what the correct answer is, but also why the answer is correct. I am focus-driven and work to set objectives. I will focus on an objective until it is understood completely. I have a strong ability to relate concepts into real-life situations which helps students to retain the information they gain.

I love working with kids and watching them learn and grow. It amazes me every year to see students who don't believe in themselves grow into kids who see their full potential. The light in their eyes is priceless. My approach to teaching is along the lines of the "Love and Logic" program. I believe that when children are offered choices, they feel more empowered to make decisions that are best for their futures and who they want to become. I also believe that modeling what I expect is the best way to achieve positive results in student behavior and work ethic. Students will always see me working hard!
