Summary
As Socrates said, " I know that I know nothing." My goal is to continue to grow as an educator. I wish to collaborate with students, parents, teachers and administration in order to help the future generations gain the skills they will need to be successful in life. I want to foster relationships; I want to provide a safe place to learn; and I want to build a sense of community within the classroom. My journey in education thus far has taught me that this is the right career for me.

Campus Supervisor

- As a Campus Supervisor I helped to create an environment conducive to learning. This was accomplished by mitigating factors that hinder a student's ability to reach their full potential. A Campus Supervisor is an integral cog to making a school run. The job includes a myriad of tasks such as enforcement of school policy, securing the campus, deescalation, and generally knowing how to prevent unfavorable outcomes before they occur. In addition, Campus Supervisors are expected to be a figure that can get along with student's in a cordial manner while maintaining a high level of respect.
