About Erica

I have always known I have wanted to be a teacher. I love working with kids and watching them grow through exploitive learning, not just textbook material. Those "ah ha" moments are what I live for! Before I became a substitute teacher, I would part time nanny and babysit children of all ages. I grew up in the Newport Mesa school district of the Southern Orange County area and have had the opportunity to substitute teach for the past three years alongside some of my own previous teachers in the same classrooms I learned in! The experience of becoming a teacher has been one of the most rewarding parts of my life, and I want to apply the skills that I have learned during my time as a substitute teacher as well as a student teacher in order to provide the best education possible for my pupils.
