With a BA in Political Science from the University of Texas at San Antonio and a passion for continuous learning, I strive to create an engaging and dynamic classroom environment.Drawing inspiration from influential ELAR scholars such as Louise Rosenblatt, Nancie Atwell, and Lucy Calkins, I integrate innovative and student-centered teaching methods into my practice. I am an avid reader and advocate for instilling a lifelong love of literature in my students. My approach is centered on "Linking my Thinking" across subjects, encouraging students to make connections and develop a deeper understanding of the world around them. I am committed to professional growth and am particularly influenced by the historical insights and academic contributions of leaders such as Margaret MacMillan, Howard Zinn, and Eric Foner.Join me on my journey to inspire and educate the next generation of thinkers and leaders.
