About Leslie

Whole heartedly enjoy spending time with children and creating a calm, engaging environment where they feel safe and supported. I'm someone who listens carefully, stays patient even in challenging moments, and naturally finds ways to keep things fun and creative. I'm an aspiring early childhood and elementary educator with a strong foundation in classroom instruction and student centered learning. Currently completing a paid student teaching residency in a 5th-grade classroom, with prior fieldwork across diverse grade levels and content areas. Scheduled to graduate in December 2025 with a B. S. in Teaching and Learning from the University of Houston and a contractual commitment to begin teaching with SBISD.
