I enjoy getting all students involved in their learning, encouraging group conversations, and checking for understanding throughout the lesson. I use individual accommodations for each student as class goes on, based on the needs of the individual. 

No former knowledge about armadillos is needed but armadillo lovers are certainly welcome to bring their facts and conversation to the classroom

I have taught at Kagan and Cambridge schools. I have completed numerous Kagan certification courses. Most of my time teaching in public education was in low-income schools, high-risk students, emotional/behavioral disorders, and international schools. 

In addition to the above certification areas, I have also taught:

Prior to becoming a teacher, I was a correctional officer. I completed two training academies and license exams. I worked in adult male facilities in both Florida and Texas.

I also teach ESOL (English as a second language) to students and adults living around the world. 
I have served as a judge for Thomas Alva Edison's Science and Research Fairs.

My teaching style is heavily influenced by my background in psychology, working with individuals with emotional and behavioral disorders, and appealing to the unique needs and interests of all students. I believe classes should be interactive and fun, leaving students with memorable experiences. When students are excited and intrigued by new information and learning, they develop a love for learning. In my classroom, I want all students to feel safe, excited, appreciated, valued, and understood. 

I am very active in my community! I started a Pin-up group in my area in order to embrace the vintage clothing style and encourage other women to get involved in community outreach. The group has over 40 female members and we devote a great deal of time to volunteering for local non-profits in our community. Additionally, many of us have been published in magazines (Yes! Including me!) I help promote community service/ outreach and encourage women to get their children involved in our community events as well! 

Additionally, I have owned and operated my own businesses while teaching full-time. 

While living in Florida, I owned and operated a pet sitting/ boarding business. I had over 200 customers and cared for their dogs, cats, horses, donkey, goats, chickens, and many other animals. I am a HUGE animal lover! 

Both of my dogs are rescues and I am actively involved with community service work that serves to protect and care for animals. 

Through my personal business, I offer  Reiki services, life/ health, and confidence coaching to adults and children. I am a contracted life coach, life coach blogger, and served as an editor for a non-profit life coaching organization and serve on the board of directors as the secretary and fill-in Vice President.
