As a Montessori guide at Steele Montessori, I support the academic and social development of 4th and 5th grade students, using the Montessori method and Texas standards. I have nine years of experience in teaching, mentoring, curriculum development, and assessment coordination in various educational settings.I am passionate about empowering students to become lifelong learners, independent thinkers, and responsible citizens. I also have a special interest in reading instruction and intervention, and I serve as a reading mentor for my peers and students. In addition, I am a certified birth doula, providing emotional and physical support to pregnant women and their families.
