K-12 Experience
Special Education
My special education certification is cross categorical and I taught both self-contained and resource classrooms for seven years. I team taught in science, math, and language arts classes, became the math lead for special education, and created and taught an essentials math class for high school students who were struggling in regular education math courses.
Secondary Mathematics
I transitioned to teach secondary math full time in 2017 and taught in Arizona and Washington states prior to working on my PhD in Math Education. I taught Algebra, Geometry, and Algebra and Geometry Support classes.
Dance
In addition to academic courses, I have taught dance as an elective course as well as choreographed for musical productions both in Arizona and Washington. I taught at dance studios and gyms across Arizona and Southern California, directed and choreographed AZ local commercials, and continue to teach pop-up dance workshops around Phoenix, Arizona and Seattle, Washington.
