I am looking forward to a new year full of new learning and fun. I wanted to take a few minutes to tell you a little bit about myself. I am originally from New Jersey and I have two beautiful daughters. I moved here to Florida in 2005 and attended college. I stayed in the area after I graduated and have begun pursuing my masters in Special Education. Funny how that period seems like it was a short time ago when in reality that was quite a while ago! When I initially graduated from College I held a Bachelors degree in Business Administration. My intent at that time was to go into the business field. Having my very own kids changed that plan and made me decide on a more meaningful career path to me, teaching. My first job in the education field was as a paraprofessional at Varsity Lakes Middle School in 2007. I worked with 10 low iQ students. I fell in love with being in the classroom then and continue to love it now. I began immediately taking graduate courses and researching ways to deliver effective instruction to varied students. I volunteered in general education classrooms for 2 years and realized that I naturally was a fit for the classroom. I have tried different settings. I have recently finished an EPI program with the University of West Florida and did my mentorship at a Title 1 bilingual education school in South Miami Heights. It was an incredibly building experience. I now have a solid grasp of teaching diverse learners. Prior to Miami Heights, I called Six Mile Charter Academy my home for 1 year. Six Mile Charter academy is a traditional charter school. I worked there as a Spanish Teacher. I began as the AP and middle school Spanish teacher. The following year I taught the entire school to include the elementary grades. I taught a total of 1100 kids on a six day rotation schedule. This upgrade was great in that it allowed me to experience different levels and create curriculums for all the different groups. I gained a lot of classroom management and teaching experiences at SMCA. On another note, I am a big family person and enjoy spending the majority of my free time with my family. I also love scrapbooking, creating great lesson plans, reading and running! I hope this letter has helped you get to know me a bit better and I look forward to a wonderful year.
