Hello, my name is Stephanie. I live in the sunny state of Florida. I have been working in the public school system for over ten years.  My have my bachelor's degree in business administration. I enjoyed helping, teaching, and assisting others learn new things that I went back to get my Masters of Education from the University of Central Florida. I hold my teaching certificate in the state of Florida and I am certified in Elementary Education K-6 and Middle Grades Math 5-9. I am also ESOL endorsed by my state.   

I worked for many years in the business sector then moved to education. I have taught Language Arts, Reading, and Math at the middle school level. Before working as a teacher I worked as a bilingual aide for ELL (English Language Learner) students in the public school. I also have experience teaching Spanish and English as a second language. 

I am a native Spanish speaker. I spent my early childhood growing up in Mexico and frequently visited during the summers. I enjoy sharing my first language with others as it opens the door to exploring and understanding other cultures and the diversity surrounding us.
