Employment History:
I have been a teacher for 37 years. I actually retired 5 years ago, but have always gome back to help and substitute in the Tucson Unified School District. This year I ventured "out of the box" and applied for a position at a Charter School. I am so happy I did! The teaching experience here has been refreshing !
Why Do I Teach?:
I teach because I love the challenge of working with children and watching them achieve what they want to do. I want to make learning an experience they enjoy, but benefit fully from. It is very satisfying to have students come back over the years and share what they remember from their years in your class!
