      I currently teach 8th grade classes focusing on implementation of unpacked AERO standards while integrating the latest in educational software. Having started off in the virtual and hybrid models, we are now switching back to fully in-person education. While at Bayan, I have backward planned the 8th grade curriculum with emphasis on GRASPS project based learning while keeping vertical integration in mind. Collaborating with students and teachers, we founded and published the first MS bilingual literary magazine. I also help lead workshops on topics like Nearpod, creating end-of-year surveys and discussion protocols. Show less

      Took a short term position in manual labor to save money for travel to the Middle East. I served in leadership as we set up, sold trees, and eventually tore down. There is nothing more like working at a carnival or out at sea than a tree lot. I gained a lot of experience working in a largely secular environment with a boss that used the most colorful language I have ever heard (and that's saying something!)
