Summary
My goal is to learn something new each day and year and continue to grow. I want to continue to work in a field that has meaning and keeps me motivated on growth. I worked with children for over 21 years in a private school education setting and now I want to move on to something new because I want to grow in another chapter of my life by sharing my skills with others. I am very creative and can bring a lot to my field of education. I am very adaptable and have been in a classroom from Infants to Kindergarten. I want to let children and families know that no matter what life deals you just don't give up and keep on striving for success. I am caring and strong so can communicate and relate to most parents and their situations. I want to live life with a purpose and want my students to know they matter and will learn and grow in a safe and happy environment.
