I have been teaching for 30+ years in the field of early childhood. Due to my husband's job, we have lived in Nebraska, Hawaii, California, Virginia and Florida. Having worked with students and school systems of diverse backgrounds, I offer these strengths: flexibility in adapting to school cultures, an attitude of service to everyone and a personal level of excellence which has earned me leadership roles. I speak Spanish and have earned a reputation for serving my English Language Learners well. During the pandemic I was commended after a state observation for excelling in teaching a hybrid class (half in person, half online only).
