What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to inspire students and collaborate with educators to enhance learning experiences.

I am a dedicated virtual teacher with over a decade of experience in education, specializing in Spanish and social studies. My journey began with a Bachelor of Arts in Historical Studies, complemented by a minor in Business Administration from The University of Texas at Dallas. Since 2012, I have been committed to fostering an inclusive and engaging learning environment for my students, both in-person and virtually.

Currently, as a Virtual Adjunct Instructor at the Virtual Learning Academy, I conduct engaging virtual instruction tailored to the needs of secondary students. I collaborate with curriculum development teams to enhance course materials, ensuring they align with modern educational standards. My teaching philosophy revolves around maximizing student participation and retention through diverse online tools and platforms, providing individualized support to guide students toward academic success.

In my role as a Secondary Spanish Teacher at Hebron High School, I have consistently achieved high student engagement and strong assessment results. I take pride in mentoring new teachers and facilitating professional development workshops, sharing best practices in language instruction. My commitment to integrating authentic cultural materials into the curriculum enriches the learning experience, preparing students for AP and college-level coursework while fostering critical thinking and college readiness.
