I am a political scientist by training with both a Bachelor's and a Master's degree in Political Science and International Affairs, respectively. Additionally, I hold a Certificate in Conservation Biology from Columbia University. My career includes extensive research experience in various international organizations, including the United Nations. Currently, I am enrolled in courses offered by the NASA Endeavor STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) Teaching Certificate Project. My genuine passion for learning drives me to continually explore new fields, seeking opportunities to challenge myself. I am excited about the prospect of sharing my passion for learning and teaching with the students!
Library (Prek ~3rd Grade)
“The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go.”- Dr. Seuss
Library class is designed for young learners who are full of curiosity and wonder! Each grade will engage in fun reading lessons through various activities like story time, solving quizzes, and discussions. Books are carefully selected to match specific reading levels in relation to the theme of the month, holiday, season, or special events. This year, 3rd graders will participate in an exciting NASA STEM-integrated reading project.
Gifted and Talented (3rd ~8th Grade)
This enrichment program aims to challenge and inspire students to engage with real-world problems, nurturing critical thinking and problem-solving skills. I use a multidisciplinary approach across various subjects and integrate STEM methods into lessons. Students are selected based on certain criteria for each new school year.
