Summary

A future teacher looking forward to finishing student teaching and moving into my next role as an English teacher and educator. Overall, I am bright, funny, and willing to go the extra mile in order to learn new approaches that will aid me in my position. I am excited to enter the classroom and form a dynamic that cultivates learning and entertainment at the same time. I hope to one day teach AP English with the goal of teaching AP Literature and Composition.
