Welcome to my Capstone! My name is Jacqueline Perez. I am a third-grade teacher entering my sixth year of teaching. I was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, but I reside in Houston, Texas. I graduated from The Pennsylvania State University with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology minoring in Human Development and Family Studies. The experiences I have had in the education system are what pushed me to apply and complete the Teach For America program. As I have always wanted to work with and for children, the education field seemed like the perfect career path. Through Teach For America, I taught in Lawton, Oklahoma, for two years and am now entering my fourth year teaching in Houston, Texas. Pursuing my Masters has always been a goal of mine. Through this program, I have been able to use what I have learned in my classroom and see growth in my children throughout the last few years. I am excited for you to see all the growth I have made as an educator.
