    Welcome!

    Welcome to 8th Grade ELA!

    My Education and Professional Background

    M.B.A. in International Business, Western International University; B.S. in Management Systems, Arizona State University In 2020, I made the transition from the business world to teaching. My first position was at Santan Junior High School where I taught 8th Grade Social Studies. This is my second year at Casteel High School teaching 8th Grade ELA.  I love it!

    My Educational Philosophy

    No matter what a student's pursuit in life, they will be required to communicate effectively. My philosophy is that this communication should be effective and efficient. In my class, I will do my absolute best to help my students develop their mastery of the English language. We will achieve this through the use of different mediums, which include writing, verbal presentations, and multimedia. The most important thing for me is to make it fun!
