Summary
With three years of experience as a teacher assistant, followed by a promotion to substitute teacher, and then further advancement to a full-fledged teacher amidst the challenges of the pandemic, my journey in education has been marked by resilience and growth. As a math teacher deeply committed to nurturing life skills in my students, I have honed my abilities to innovate and inspire within the classroom. My motivation and charisma drive me to pursue leadership roles, aspiring to serve as a vice principal or supervisor, where I can continue to make a positive impact on education at a broader level. I am eager to further my expertise through the Education Leadership Masters program, leveraging my experiences to become an effective and transformative leader in the field of education.
