Summary
I have always enjoyed working with children. I worked with elementary-aged kids for three years while going to school, before I had to stop so that I could student-teach. I have enjoyed getting to work with my peers and other teachers to create plans for the classroom, and I have loved getting to look forward to seeing kids succeed every day.
