I am a natural leader who engages students from K-12th grade and my colleagues in away that enlivens their life and learning experiences through collaboration, SEI, partner/group work, and immediate feedback (including small group and one-on-one check-ins). Every interaction is an opportunity to learn and grow.. Through the years, I have developed a hands-on and discussion/dialogue-based approach to teaching multiple subjects from art to science and social studies and Spanish). I focus on inspiring students to make connections across the established curriculum, their lives, and culture. My personal teaching philosophy is experiential and project-based/themed-based. I have also mentored and tutored children with Autism; conducting play therapy. I have also mentored High school student senior projects and led teen youth groups to persevere with grit and rigor during (team building activities including hiking in the mountains of Hawaii and Colorado and generally supporting young adults in life skills both athletically and socio-emotionally. I am passionate about guiding all students to better their understanding, improve upon their skills, and keep them moving forward. I see school and learning as an adventure where the learning process, (including mistakes), can be honored and celebrated. I adhere to positive discipline practices in the classroom and allow my classroom management to be informed and guided by restorative justice practices.
