While I am new to Outschool, I am a certified teacher for the states of Oklahoma and Texas. I have been teaching for 13 years in the areas of English, History, and Special Education to middle and high school students. I have also coached middle school cross country, track, softball, and basketball. At my current school, I am coaching softball and the Academic Teams. I am also an ESL Tutor for Chinese students who are mastering the English Language.
I am a life-long learner. I love finding professional development opportunities to help not only fine tune my teaching craft but also to gain strategies to help my students. I was named the 2022 VFW Teacher of the Year for Oklahoma. I am currently working on my Google Educator Level 2 certificate as well as becoming a National History Day coordinator for my district.
My experiences as an educator and coach help me to empower students to be true to themselves, be creative, and have fun learning. My goal is to inspire students to be creative and continue learning no matter what topic/skill they are focused on at the moment.
I look forward to our continued learning!
