My journey in education

Welcome to my professional portfolio. Here, you will learn about my passion for teaching, my experience, and my commitment to fostering a dynamic learning environment for every student.

My path to teaching

I have dedicated 18 years to Aldine ISD as a long-term and teacher of record substitute teacher. My journey has equipped me with patience, creativity, and energetic conflict resolution skills, all honed within the classroom. I am deeply committed to Aldine ISD's vision of providing every student with a dynamic and unparalleled education, ensuring choices and opportunities for their future. Currently, I am advancing my education, pursuing an Associate of Arts in Teaching degree, set to be completed in December 2026. My goal is to become a Certified Early Childhood Development teacher. My specialty lies in Pre-K4, where I focus on creating a nurturing environment that encourages students to safely explore, create, and grow. I strategically design lessons to be fun and engaging, utilizing centers where students learn through play. I am passionate about equipping students with the essential skills they need to succeed in life.

The heart of my passion

What truly fuels my passion for teaching and working with students is witnessing their growth and observing them realize their accomplishments. There's immense joy in seeing their development across fine motor skills, social-emotional skills, language and literacy, and cognitive and thinking abilities. Each step of their progress, no matter how small, reinforces why I love what I do.

My classroom approach

My teaching approach is centered on flexibility, engagement, and developmentally appropriate learning. I strongly believe in learning through play and exploration, as play-based learning is crucial for strengthening language development, problem-solving abilities, and social-emotional skills. My classroom is a vibrant space where children can discover, question, and grow in an environment that supports their natural curiosity.

I love making funny faces with my students!
