I am very excited to be teaching AVID this year and have grown up loving this program. My goal is to make sure that students feel confident transitioning into highschool. I am not all just about school and studying though, if there is a sport out there, I have either played it, know of it, or want to play it. I am an avid reader and can often be found with a book in my hand. If I am not reading, I am playing video games or drawing. If you are interested, here is a list of a few of my favorite things:
Color- Teal
Candy-Tootsie Rolls
Soda- Coca-Cola
Food- Pizza
Video Game- Legend of Zelda (but I play them all... except Fortnite)
Sport- Soccer, but other sports are pretty cool too
Book- This one honestly depends on the day... I like a lot of them. Right now I am into the Way of Kings series by Brandon Sanderson
