2010-2011 Residency Completing residency at Henry World Middle School, Secondary Math
I am a Denver native. I earned my bachelor’s degree in accounting from Metropolitan State College in Denver. Prior to joining Denver Teacher Residency, I worked for 11 years as an Office Manager and Bookkeeper in Denver and Lakewood.
I discovered the DTR program while looking through the Denver Public Schools website for ways to obtain an alternative teacher license. I chose DTR because I fell in love with the idea of being able to experience a full year side-by-side with an experienced teacher. Another attractive part about DTR is earning my master’s degree from University of Denver (with full tuition reimbursement).
I’m really enjoying being in the classroom and helping kids learn. I want to make a difference in the lives of these urban students. I also want to make math fun and easy to comprehend for the students. I’m learning that the two biggest challenges for urban teachers today is getting the students to believe in themselves and also finding a way to reach and teach each student so that they will learn and understand what is being presented.
