A teenager with much to learn and experience in life. Complicated paths are the most intriguing since you're forced to put in your utmost effort and achieve possibly surprising outcomes.

Have you ever had a teacher go above and beyond the call of duty? Not just the lesson of the day did you learn but a life lesson? To give you more confidence than what she has? I had her. And I am very fortunate to have someone like that in my life. She was the hero in my eyes. Even though she was a language arts teacher she taught me nobody is perfect. I was a quiet, and still am, leader. But when it came up to speaking in front of people, I was a mouse, still and silent. Since she is a reading teacher, it’s almost impossible to not teach about the love for books, and so I became almost immediately drawn into the excitement of reading.

I intend on having art as my major in college. I specifically became interested in art because of an important event in my life when I was younger. A very close loved one I had used to love art and would draw whatever I could imagine for me in extreme detail in little time. This exposed me to my interest of art.

About three years later I began thinking missing that person's artwork and I didn’t have any to remember them by. So I wanted to learn how to draw. I then began to self-teach myself.

With fifteen years of experience teaching in a self contained classroom, I have learned that a teacher’s role is to foster a child’s discovery of ones self, by igniting internal motivation and providing students with the tools necessary for taking responsibility of their own learning. I began my career as a teacher at Aptos Academy, a private K-8 school in Aptos, California, where I taught fourth and second grade. While working at the Aptos Academy, I attended California State University Monterey Bay, where I received my Bachelor of Arts degree in Liberal Studies and completed a Multiple Subject Preparation Program. Following this, I received my Masters of Arts degree in Curriculum and Instruction through the University of Saint Mary in Leavensworth, Kansas. After twelve years of teaching at the Aptos Academy, I moved to Maui, Hawaii where I taught sixth grade for two years at Kihei Charter, STEM Middle School. The following year, I acquired a new teaching position at Lokelani Intermediate, a Title I school where I taught sixth grade English Language Arts and Study Skills.
