years of professional experience
I am a dedicated educator with a focus on effective communication and relationship building. Strengths in active listening and decision-making contribute to effective peer coaching and collaborative learning environments. Relationships that are built make having hard conversations and giving constructive criticism easier for both the coach and the teacher.
