Goals:
My goal is to ascertain my ESL Supplemental Certification and pursue a Masters in Art Education. I am also researching practical ways for art teachers to implement literacy strategies in their lessons for struggling readers and English Language Learners.
Currently, I hope to gain administrative skills to develop strong partnerships in higher education and school districts in the Dallas-Fort Worth Area.
