Fall 2024 Initial Student Teaching Placement: El Diamante High School

Spring 2025 Final Student Teaching Placement: Golden West High School

What inspired me to to pressure agriculture education was my teachers in high school that showed me how great agriculture education is and being around agriculture my whole life it felt like a right choice to pursue this career. 

I completed my undergraduate degree at Fresno State but I began my journey at Reedley College. I have been Agriculture Education with an emphasis in Agriculture Mechanics throughout my undergrad. Some notable experiences in my undergrad was being able to work on campus such as working at the Meat Lab and take advantage of the many great Ag Mech classes available. I completed my initial student teaching at El Diamanté and I am finaling at Golden West, both in Visalia. I have touched ag mech in both sites and will be teaching Ag Bio as well. 

FFA plays a large role in my teaching and career development. It is where I started and where I learned how to public speak, to interview, and how to network. Some skills that I possess in Agriculture Education is Agricultural mechanics. I was able to teach forklift operations and safety at El Diamante and will teach small engines in my next site. My career goals after completing student teaching is to hopefully get a job in the Central Valley and make an impact in my community and as well pursue my masters degree. Some hobbies that I like to do out side of teaching is I love to workout and I love the outdoors. I do have personal connections to agriculture my father was a butcher for over 20 years and I am from a farming town so I was involved with stone fruit at a young age.
