Mr. Turner |  5th-6th Mathematics, Science, Spelling  |  Ascent Classical Academy of Northern Colorado

ABOUT ME

I was born in Southern California, raised in Central Texas, and eventually found my way to Northern Colorado in 2016. I moved to this beautiful state to attend the University of Denver where I received my Bachelor of Science in Business Administration degree with a focus on Information and Analytics, and with minors in marketing and leadership studies. My previous work experiences include real estate photography, landscaping, customer service ranging from front desk receptionist to licensed investment and retirement aid, and finally substitute teaching and coaching. As you can probably tell, it may have taken quite a few tries to find my calling, but all of those experiences have led me to be teaching this year at Ascent Classical Academy and I could not be more excited to start. As an apprentice teacher, I will be in several classrooms learning from my exceptional counterparts through watching them teach, as well as teaching several subjects including mathematics, science, and spelling. 

WHAT I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO

I am most excited to be able to watch the growth, joy, and wonder in our students over the course of the year. It was a wonderful experience as a substitute teacher at this school, not knowing what each day would bring, but through this role, my responsibility and impact has grown to have a direct impact on my students from start to finish. Whether it is creating excitement for mathematics or curiosity and awe for science, the responsibility of creating an effective and engaging learning environment is not something I take lightly, and I am excited to face the challenge for the betterment of the students, as well as myself.
