About
Hi students! I'm Penni. I've been an educator for over 20 years. I have a Master's degree in psychology and have taught from students in SPED elementary ISDs to college students at The University of Houston. I'm currently teaching ELA at the high school level.
Regardless of age, education level or goals, all students have the right to an understanding and diligent teacher to see them through challenging work or to be challenged.
I'm pasionate about education and my goal is to instill that in my students.
