Summary
I am a dedicated and creative educator with experience in whole group, small group, special education, and multilingual learner instruction. I am seeking an elementary teaching position in a general or special education classroom that embraces a whole-child approach. Through mutual respect, I foster strong classroom management, creating a supportive and inclusive learning environment where both my students and I can grow together in my first year of teaching.
