As of the 2017-2018 school year, I work with the Los Angeles Unified School District as a Special Education Teacher in a Special Day Class - Specific Learning Disability with grades 2, 3, and 4. My students have various eligibilities that impact their learning such as Specific Learning Disability, Other Health Impairment, Autism, and Orthopedic Impairment. I am currently attending Loyola Marymount University where I am completing my Education Specialist Preliminary Credential to teach K-12 students with mild/moderate disabilities. In Fall 2018, I will start classes to complete my Masters  Urban Education with an emphasis on Policy and Administration. I am passionate about making a change in underrepresented, low-income communities where I can provide the resources available to those in most need. My interests are include civil rights, social justice movement, mentoring, and education politics. I am a member of the United Teachers for Los Angeles in which I actively educate myself on the policies and legislation currently impacting our students and teachers. My ultimate goal is to obtain my Pupil and Personnel Services credential to serve my students' needs outside of the classroom and focus on mental health with the hopes of achieving an equitable learning environment for all students.
