About Me

I am a mother, an educator, an artist who loves working with children. I am native to Dallas, TX yet, have had many opportunities to travel the world. One stop was Miami Beach, FL where I attended undergrad school in 2001 at Johnson & Wales University receiving a B.S. in Criminal Justice and worked as a Social Worker for two years. After relocating back to Dallas in 2008, I continued my work with children as a Pre-K teacher. Walking through this door of opportunity opened up a new path that I was destined to take. Since then, I have birthed a son, started a homeschool co-op, obtained a M.Ed in Curriculum & Instruction, as well as, worked in local elementary schools as a Campus Director and Instructor for their in-school tutoring program for reading literacy. As you can see, I wear many hats within my career and continue to expand my mission work with children. I currently work as a 1st grade teacher for the 2017-2018 school year.

Q&A with LaMetra

"He who learns, teaches." ~ Ethiopian proverb.\ Holistic education lies at the foundation of my teaching philosophy. Throughout my years of experience, I have come to learn that teaching the child is the truest way of educating. Holistic education is based on the premise that each person finds identity, meaning, and purpose in life through connections to the community, to the natural world, and to spiritual values such as compassion and peace. Holistic education aims to call forth from people an intrinsic reverence for life and a passionate love of learning. In relation to academics, all subject matters are interconnected, and should be taught as such. You can not have math without language or reading, science without math, etc., and art encompasses them all. We are math, science, language, and art! How fascinating it that!
