3RD GRADE TEACHER / MATH AND SCIENCE
I have been a member of the dedicated parent and teacher community at Cedar Hill Prep since 2007 and currently teach 3rd grade Math and Science. I have a Master’s Degree in Electrical Engineering and a Bachelor’s Degree in Electronics and Telecommunication. Before joining Cedar Hill Prep, I worked in the IT industry.
I love teaching because helping children learn and grow provides the greatest satisfaction. It is rewarding to see students put the learning pieces together to take on more complicated assignments. I enjoy teaching them organizational and study skills to help them become independent learners. The world is full of opportunities to learn, and I hope to give the children in my class the desire to become enthusiastic learners for a lifetime.
