Summary

Over the last several years, I have been able to help teach in many different ways. From teaching small group with 1st through 4th graders at my church, to substitute teaching at my local school district, to being able to adjunct at the college level. Through all my experiences, my drive to teach fulltime is relentless. I seek to use my compassion and collaborative abilities in partnering together to serve our community, and develop bright, observant students who have a lifelong love of learning.
