Well, to be honest, the first reason is to finish my masters program through DU. The second reason, is because I like learning about new technological developments that could help me be a more effective teacher, but also one that can help her students learn about and be safe when using new technologies.

I have many goals, but the main one is to be the teacher my students need. I want to know that I made a difference in their lives, and that their time spent with me meant as much to them as it does to me.

First of, I love to read romance novels on my Kindle, specially when I am stressed out.  I love that I can enjoy them, and not have to think.  Second, I love watching Game of Thrones, and I hate that I had to wait over a year to watch it again, and it is the last season!

I am a doer. I learn best by doing things, by failing, feeling embarrassed and committing the new skill to memory. I love to learn new interesting things, that can be of use during trivia night, or to impress my children and students with my "knowledge". But joking aside, I am an eternal learner of anything that I find interesting.

I am a very busy woman!  I teach Spanish online for Illinois Virtual School.  I am also an EL/Bilingual teacher for one of our local elementary schools.  I just got the position this year after earning my endorsements through DU.
As you can imagine, I am very busy, but I would not have it any other way! I rather be busy, than bored.
