Three’s 3-Day Assistant Teacher

What do you like about working with children? I absolutely love working with emergent learners because they are so curious and enthusiastic when they make a new discovery in their educational pursuits. It is so rewarding bearing witness to both their academic and interpersonal growth as they achieve developmental milestones.

How does your background support your work at Bee Loved? I obtained my Bachelor of Science degree in psychology, with a minor in sociology. I have always been drawn towards the field of behavioral sciences, as well as stewardship with youth. Following college, I spent several years working as both a case manager and service coordinator for a crisis counseling center for children. Through this work, I felt a calling to teach and decided to become a certified teacher. I received my teaching certification with an endorsement in special education and have been teaching for the past decade. I have taught life skills at the middle school level in Eanes ISD, been a high school teacher at Premier Charter Schools in South Austin and have been a lead preschool teacher for five years.

If you could have one superpower, what would it be? I would love the power of teleportation because I have an extensive travel bucket list!
