Goals and interests

Career goal

For the last six years, I have been putting together tutoring programs for students K-12. Most of my students have been ESL students. The state of Texas has certified me as an ESL Teacher for K-12th grades. Having worked as both an educator and a business owner, I bring to the table a breath of experience, versatility, and insight. I believe these qualities would make me a valuable addition to the D.I.S.D.Team. My plan is to work with graduate and undergraduate students online who are seeking degrees in Higher Education.
