I'm Rebecca! I earned my bachelor's degree from Spring Abor University in Math & Spanish. I also earned my master's degree in Teaching and Learning with an emphasis on STEAM education from Liberty University. Currently, I am pursuing my EdD through Liberty University. I started my teaching career overseas in the Dominican Republic teaching middle school math (Pre-Algebra and Algebra 1). Two years later, I got married and moved to South Carolina where I also taught middle school math (Pre-Algebra and Algebra 1). My husband is in the Navy, so we move quite frequently. From South Carolina, we moved to Virginia where I taught high school math (Geometry). We just received new orders and moved across the country to California! It's been quite a whirlwind, but we are excited to settle down again.
I absolutely love teaching and working with students. I am passionate about education, math, and Spanish, but more importantly, I love getting to know my students. I enjoy making learning fun and helping students feel confident in course content. I incorporate real-life examples and scenarios into my lessons to help connect learning to life. I give timely, specific feedback to help encourage and guide students every step of the way in their learning process.

I love being a part of these transitions and helping students grow into their full potential!
