Hello! This is my first year at Coker, and I am excited to be teaching Science and Social Studies for 5th grade Dual Language. I am a graduate of Western Governors University South Texas. I have a Bachelors of Arts in Elementary Education with Texas EC-6  and Science of Teaching Reading certifications. I believe strongly in having a safe, welcoming classroom environment so that all students can be a part of a learning community. It is important to me to have a classroom that embraces diversity and culturally responsive teaching. I enjoy creating lessons that are engaging and relevant so students can connect content to real-world experiences. I enjoy constantly learning as an educator and look forward to growing with your students and working with parents/guardians this year at Coker!
