As an educator for over 16 years, I am bringing the forefront of STEM to my elementary students one lesson at a time. I am currently a first grade teacher for the Woodland Hills School District. Over the last two school years, I have been teaching STEM classes to my elementary students. IN addition, I have created many cross-curricular lessons that engage students in math and reading. My passions include teaching as well as my family, friends, and traveling. My career passion is exposing African-American students to the world of STEM. Most of my students do not have exposure to the many careers in STEM related sciences.
