Experience
I earned my Bachelor of Art in Writing/Literature and Religious Studies. During this time, I had the incredible opportunity to study abroad in Paraguay. Then, I took a year off to save enough money to attend Western Oregon University, where I received my Master of Art in Teaching. Amazingly, only two days after I graduated, I was offered a teaching position here in Arizona. I have been teaching at Vail School District for three years, and it has been a challenging and rewarding experience. I have always loved learning and believe there is always room to grow, and I strive to teach my students to do the same.I understand that all individuals learn differently. Sometimes it may take one student longer to learn something than another student in the same class. I believe in being patient with my students and doing everything I can to make learning easier for them. Most students are coming to me because they are struggling already; I believe in lifting their spirits and encouraging them. I also think that a positive attitude can go a long way in the classroom. Witnessing a student finally understand something that they struggled for so long with is the most rewarding feeling to have as a teacher. When I am not teaching or tutoring, I enjoy reading, watching Netflix, running, or hiking.
