About

Hello! I'm a math and Spanish teacher at a blended learning school in Grand Rapids, Michigan that serves primarily disengaged youth. Our philosophy is to empower students through the use of goal setting to show them they are capable and worthy of earning their high school diploma. As a teacher, I use my love for math, Spanish, and the arts to create content and methods that further enforce concepts students learn while working through online courses. When I'm not working at the school with students you can find me enjoying the music scene in Grand Rapids, running in the Great Outdoors, or mixing audio.

At a blended learning school, my typical day looked significantly different than that of a traditional teacher. I managed a student caseload and ensured all students had the necessary resources to continue work in their class. I entered and analyzed student data to develop curriculum resources and then employed strategies to assist student learning.
