Summary
I have proudly taught at the elementary level for the past 9 years. I truly believe that with a determined instructor, all students have to ability to show both social and academic growth. I pride myself on being able to build relationships with not only the students I encounter, but their parents/guardians as well. I understand that education is an collaborative effort, and look forward to building and growing professionally with other likeminded individuals.
