K-5 All Subjects, 6-12 English, College English, Marketing, APA

Hello and thank you for taking a peek at my profile! I currently work as a substitute teacher in numerous districts while pursing a master degree in Education. I am certified to substitute teach K-12, all subjects. My undergraduate degree was in Marketing (I have written more than my fair share of APA formatted papers and have often helped other college students with APA formatting and proofreading). Additional college level classes include art and graphic design. I am a mother of two, one child having ADHD and Tourettes. Both are exceptional students. I believe in using positive motivation to help students learn (learning should be fun!). I look forward to working with you and your child!
