Summary

Child Education has always been a love of mine and a part of my life for many years from being a preschool teacher, dance teacher for elementary grade students, and a supervision aid. I’ve been working at Serrania Charter Elementary School for the last 2 years as a Supervision Aid as well as running small 2nd grade reading groups and I would love to expand in assisting more small groups in the classroom.

As an Instructional Assistant I would be able to offer support to students of different learning levels and backgrounds. I am always ready to step in and positively impact student learning.
