For the past 6 years as an Intervention Specialist at Uplift Peak Primary in Dallas, I have had the honor of working with students across all grade levels from 1st to 5th grade. My students are performing below grade level, and require intensive instruction based on their individual needs and learning styles. I meet with the students in a small group setting, and we spend 30 minutes per group of very intentional time together to work towards getting them caught up. Each and every day, my students enter the school eager to learn, despite the challenges that they may face outside of school. They work hard and love learning! It is the most rewarding job to watch these struggling students grow! I also created the Peak Primary Cheerleading Program three years ago, and currently coach a team of 30 3rd-5th grade girls! The team performs at pep rallies and other Peak spirit events throughout the year. I love passing my love for cheer and dance on to these young girls!
