    EXPERIENCE
    Teaching Fellow
    Breakthrough Twin Cities | St. Paul, Minnesota June to August 2021
    This fellowship is a Grow Your Own program that allowed me to empower and work with a little over 100 middle school
    students. During this urban teaching experience, I created and taught a 9th grade writing curriculum for 35 underserved and
    underrepresented youth within my community. The curriculum I developed for these students guided them through a six week
    journey that encouraged power through reflection and their language. During this time, I also supported and facilitated a
    leadership and identity retreat for the 9th grade students.

    Civic Engagement and Leadership Presenter


    Civic Engagement and Leadership Conference| Winona, Minnesota May 2021
    For this conference, two other pre-service educators and I developed professional development for educators and content area
    suggestions for the students to engage with in class. The presentation focused on the decolonization of three subject areas: world
    language, math, and social studies. Through this presentation, students and educators can be guided to critically reflect on their
    own knowledge while also seeking out new knowledge to create empowerment.

    Communications Director
    Minnesota Council on the Teachings of Languages and Cultures November 2021 to Current
    This is a volunteer position where I direct communication operations for a professional development opportunity for world
    language educators. Every month, I organize and produce newsletters for world educators to access resources and opportunities
    to connect with others while developing content area knowledge. I support the facilitation of a world language conference geared
    to develop pedagogy and content area knowledge.

    Teacher Intern June to August of 2018 - 2020


    The Children’s Farm | Lake Elmo, MN
    This position was a full time paid internship during the summer. The days broke up into two classes in the morning there was a
    preschool class, and in the afternoon there was a class for older children such as science and history. Each class had three intern
    teachers with one volunteer aid. The internship allowed me to learn a new perspective of outdoor teaching using animals and
    nature as our classroom. The environment provided an excellent space for our preschool kids to further development such as
    gross motor skills when climbing a fence. We were also able to see the older children flourish as trekked through ponds pointing
    out bugs in the science class. I was able to create a curriculum for a one week Spanish class for kids ranging in age 8 to 10. This
    experience not only expanded my knowledge but deepened my appreciation for education, children, and the outdoors. In the
    summer of 2020, I trained four new staff and supported the staff with COVID-19 protocol.

    Volunteer Translator 2019


    Winona State University | Winona, MN
    This experience was a volunteer position through Winona State University where students created a Civic Engagement conference
    for students who are underrepresented and underserved in southern Minnesota. I aided in the translation and support of students
    who came to the conference to further civic discourse.

    Teacher Aid 2012 - 2021


    The Children's Farm | Lake Elmo, MN
    This opportunity for me was a fall and spring where under the direction of a teacher I helped to assist the class. The classes
    consisted of two to four years old children alongside their parents as the main focus was early childhood development. In the
    classes, I set up and cleaned up the classes from the direction of the teacher. I also assisted with a majority of the activities simple
    or complex. I was able to encourage the children’s growth. When I was not helping with activities, I was either tending to the
    animals or preparing for the next activity.

    Winona State University | Spanish Teacher Candidate, Bilingual Bicultural Education, Ethnic Studies Expected Dec. 2022
