Summary
Dedicated educational professional who adapts well to change and drives to meet expectations of both administration and the classroom. While my professional focus has been in early childhood education, my experiences have allowed me to work with students across a wide range of ages in the school system. As a firm believer that education is more than simply curriculum, it is my passion to help others discover their own capabilities in an environment where they not only learn and grow but have an opportunity to thrive.
