Teach for America Houston Corps Member | First-Generation, Queer, & Latine Graduate Student at Boston University | Educator
A little over a month ago, I graduated from Boston University with a double major in Political Science and History, and a minor in Women, Gender, and Sexuality studies. Since then, I immediately immersed myself in work, starting pre-service Teach For America in the Houston Region. Yesterday marked the end of my Practicum at Burbank Middle School. I am grateful to all the people I have met, of who I have learned lots from. I had such an incredibly supportive team, including my LDC Amber, who was a strong support as I navigated my practicum teaching 7th Grade ELA. Special thank you to Candy Fernandez M.Ed for being such an amazing School Director (GO EAGLES🦅🦅🦅) and for making Practicum such a wonderful and welcoming learning experience. Her dedication and support for our growth was inspiring, and I looked forward to the positive energy every day! I have learned so many things from Candy (especially the array of attention getters), and am incredibly excited to apply my newfound knowledge to my classroom this coming year. In a couple of weeks, I will be teaching English I at Chavez High School, starting my 1st year as a corps member. Alongside teaching English I, I will be starting my master’s degree in Education for Equity and Social Justice at Boston University Wheelock College of Education & Human Development. I cannot wait to apply what I have learned over Pre-Service, and continue to grow as an educator who fights against systems of oppression and educational inequity.
