Summary
- * " How you do anything, is how you do everything."
- I truly believe this. Currently I am an
enthusiastic Elementary Teacher with 30 years of teaching experience looking to retire at the end of this year. Throughout my career in teaching I have been devoted to promoting student learning and enhancing individual potential. I am skillful in directing classroom environments and enhancing student behavior through positive and forward-thinking approaches. Additionally I am a caring relationship-builder with analytical mindset and good decision-making skills. These are all skills I will take with me to my next job opportunity outside of the field of education. I am very dedicated and passionate and always go above and beyond in everything I do. I am ready to take on the challenge of finding my next endeavor and would relish the opportunity to work for your company.
