Professional

Education has been my passion and my pursuit. 

I teach English as a Second Language at Rountree Elementary for Pre-K through 6th grade.  I hold Texas teaching certifications in Early Childhood through 4th Generalist and ESL, 4th through 8th Generalist and ESL, and Gifted and Talented.

I graduated  December 15, 2007 from the University of North Texas summa cum laude with a degree in Interdisciplinary Studies for Early Childhood - 4th grade ESL Education as well as a minor in Spanish.

I joined Allen ISD as an ESL teacher in January of 2008.  Teaching English as a Second Language is an exciting and rewarding profession for which I am an avid advocate. 

Other experiences that have grown me professionally were teaching a kindergarten class at Primrose School of Coppell and teaching as a substitute teacher for Pre-K through 12th grade in Coppell ISD. One of my most inspiring educational experiences was teaching English in a Guatemalan orphanage for a summer in 2005. I formally began working with children in 2002 as a teacher in a children's Bible class of first to fourth graders and  continued to be actively involved in our church's children's ministries in a spectrum of teaching roles.  I believe that education is a vital role to creating a better tomorrow, today.
