Teacher expertise and credentials
Project based units are my favorite style of teaching. I have been a certified 3rd grade teacher for over 10 years and teach all of the elementary subjects, but there is curiosity and creativity that happens when you dive into innovation! I also love writing and these lessons have a way of sneaking writing into each day of working on a business.
In addition to a Master's in Education, I have a Bachelor's Degree in Business Finance and had a career as a financial analyst for 10 years prior to teaching. I have experience in writing business plans, creating budgets, and calculating return on investments for capital projects. I love tapping into and spreading the curiosity of entrepreneurship for kids!Reviews
