2010-2011 Residency Completing residency at Gust Elementary, 2nd Grade
I grew up in Colorado and earned a degree in Communication from Xavier University. I never considered a career as a teacher until I spent a year as an AmeriCorps member in Washington, DC. When I was working with students and seeing the harsh reality of American urban schools, and became inspired and my passion for education was ignited. I became a teacher with a United Nations development program in Northern Chile and chose to return to Denver because of the high need for Spanish-speaking teachers.
I chose Denver Teacher Residency for its intensive year of training built into the residency model; I feel that this program offers me the opportunity to become a highly effective educator. I firmly believes that the circumstances a child is born into should not dictate the quality of the education they receive. As a Denver Teacher Resident, I am working relentlessly to close the achievement gap to make sure that every child gets the excellent education they deserve.
