Hello! Welcome to my little place in the world! My name is Kelly and I am currently an ELD RT at Beaumont Elementary in Vista, CA. What does an EL RT do? That answer is different depending on the time of the year and sometimes even the day! Mostly my goal is to help as many teachers and parents help their students and children to be as successful, as I can. When not at work I am cuddling, laughing and sometimes running away from my 7 year old twin girls. I met my husband near the Panama/Costa Rica border in an area called Talamanca (think jungle and no electricity). He did not speak English and I probably could ask where the bathroom was in Spanish but not much else. After a three year long distance relationship (and me learning Spanish!) we were married. Going through the immigration process challenged my patience to say the least. I have also traveled to Egypt and Nicaragua and hope to visit Brazil one day. I have found the time I have spent traveling has been invaluable to me in truly appreciating other world views. During my long distance relationship I completed my BA at UC Riverside and then went on to complete my teacher's credential at CSUSM. I am excited to jump back into school especially with the focus on technology. A few of my other passions are my black lab mix Zealen, photography, watching documentaries and wearing Converse whenever possible.
