About
I am a happily married woman for 19 years with three sons, ages 21, 18, and 11. I have a 3 year old granddaughter and another on the way. I love learning on a dialy basis and it is what I strive to do for my students. I have an Associates Degree in Business studies from Empire State College. I have a Bachelors Degree in Professional Communications from PACE University. I also have a Master Degree in Special Education from D'Youville College. I am working on a 2nd Masters In TESOL Education from Canisius College. Once I have completed my journey, I am looking forward to applying for Doctors Degree in Literacy and Curriculum. I am currently a Spanish teacher at Enterprise Charter School with k-8th grade students. My end goal is to build a curriculum that can be taught to students with disabilities that will be based on building a strong literacy foundation and capability of learning a second language for all grades.
