I have been an elementary school teacher for over 7 years. The majority of my teaching experience is with young English Language Learners who come from very low income families in Los Angeles, CA. I am currently working as an Intervention Coordinator where I analyze our school’s test scores to create an effective intervention program for our most struggling students. I am also passionate about maintaining a strong arts education for all students and have experience creating an integrated visual arts curriculum. I have presented at numerous teaching conferences throughout California on topics such as Project-Based Learning (science), Integrating Language Arts with Visual Arts and Action-Research in the Elementary Classroom.
