About the Teacher
|
This is my seventh full year at La Cima Middle School. I did my student teaching here the year before I was hired. I was graduated with a Master's in Education from the University of Phoenix in early 2003. In the last 15 years, I have been in classrooms frequently as a Parent Association president, classroom "room parent," and advisors to school newspapers at the elementary, middle school, and college levels. Before that, I worked in newspapers for 16 years. My newspaper experience included 10 years in various reporting and editing positions on daily newspapers and concluded with six years as the co-owner/publisher/editor of a weekly newspaper in Colorado Springs, CO. My classroom number is 696-6772.
