I currently teach 7th and 8th grade English As A Second Language (ESL) in a public school in Texas. This has been my first full year in this position.

Our school is in the process of becoming an AVID demonstration school, and I attend the AVID conferences with my school.

The past 9 years I  was a self-contained ESL teacher in 3-6 grades; three of those years I was the bilingual teacher.

 My first teaching position was 3 years as a Spanish teacher in high school.

 I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education with a minor in Spanish, and I am certified in Texas to teach 1-8 grade all subjects (English and/or Spanish), 1-12 grade ESL, and Secondary Spanish Language.

I work with mostly at-risk students and find it very challenging. My hope is that I can bring the Texas curriculum to my students in a way that matches my beliefs about teaching and learning.

Also, I am building a business as a distributor for USANA Health Sciences, a company that develops pharmaceutical-grade nutritional supplements and preservative-free skin care products. Visit my blog at www.teach4USANA.blogspot.com for more information about a healthier you.
