Teacher Stereotypes Redefined

As a teacher of students with disabilities, I make sure that everyday I provide my students with the support, resources, and the care they need in order to ensure their personal growth and academic success. Being part of my students' growth and success is very rewarding and it is one of the reasons why I love my job so much. As a mother, and as a professional Latina woman, I want to be a role model for my sons and students. I want them to know that with motivation, dedication, and effort dreams and goals can be achieved.

I organized for my PDS Class at Nichols College to volunteer for a day and help build a home for a family in need with the Habitat for Humanity organization.

As a teacher, I got to show my students that "skin color" could be one of so many possibilities and not just the peach pencil.

I trapped some feral cats, got them spayed/neutered, and released them to try to reduce the overpopulation of cats.

I volunteer for a number of humane causes.
