Summary
I have over 30 years of K-5 teaching experience in Palmdale, CA, a Title I and Title III district in Los Angeles County. I taught in the classroom and used my Language Development Specialist Credential to teach our EL students. I was chosen to teach at the district's two Dual Immersion English/Spanish magnet schools for 12 years. After retiring in 2023, I moved to Tennessee to be closer to family, and am now seeking a teaching position where I can use my skills to help students develop and grow.
