I have been a teacher with HEB ISD since 2010. This is my 12th year teaching the Hindi language as a part of the International Baccalaureate Diploma program. I teach at our district's two High schools ( Trinity and Bell ). I graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Science from Jai Narain Vyas University in India. I was born and raised in Rajasthan, India, and have traveled extensively throughout India. I am fluent in speaking Hindi, English, Marwari, Marathi, and understand dialects of Hindi. I had the pleasure of working with preschool children at TCC Children’s Center, a college-based lab school, prior to joining the district. I hold a state teaching certificate in Hindi and have received IB Language B training. In the years 2012, 2014, and 2020, I had an amazing experience traveling with a group of my Hindi students to visit our sister school in India. Through this unique travel experience, our students explored Indian culture by visiting famous historical sites, monuments, architectural marvels, local markets, and experimented with regional and authentic Indian food. In 2017, I have traveled with our district administrators to visit our new sister school located in New Delhi, India. Last year, our Hindi students and HEB families have hosted a group of 20 students from our sister school and provided them an opportunity to experience home and school life in America. For the past 10 years, I have worked for STARTALK, a government grant-based summer language program as a Director, Instructional lead, and language instructor. Teaching has been my passion, and I hope your children will have a fun and great learning experience in my classroom.
