About me
I am currently a sixth grade teacher and educational technology mentor for a school in Mesa, Arizona. I love teaching and working with teachers to help introduce them to new ways to use technology inside of the classroom. This is my seventh year teaching and over the years I have taught grades fourth through eight. My original major was in Multilingual/Multicultural Education from Arizona State University. I went on to earn a Master's degree in Bilingual Education through Northern Arizona University. My primary interest when I began teaching was working with English Language Learners. Over the past two years I became more involved in educational technology and have discovered my real passion. I am currently working on my Educational Specialist Degree through Walden University. I am also a single mom of a beautiful boy who is a year and a half.
