What internship(s) did you have?

I just recently finished my student teaching experience at Woodcreek Middle School in Humble, Texas. I will become a full-time educator there in the fall, teaching 8th grade math.

How do you feel your internship helped toward your overall career goals?

My internship prepared me greatly for my career as an educator. It helped me learn how to create an excellent classroom environment. It also showed me a new lens to see these kids through and made me understand that you must have patience.

What are you looking forward to most about starting this new position?

I am looking forward to helping students understand math concepts and process them at a faster speed.

Any advice to current students?

Visit your advisor frequently! Ask them as many questions as you can, and plan out your classes freshman year so that you can graduate on time.

What do you love most about PVAMU?

PV has tradition and school pride. You can feel it through the atmosphere. I am so grateful that I came here and wouldn’t have it any other way.
