Summary

I am an educational leader who has a true passion for learning. I have moved back to my hometown to be closer to my mother after the loss of my dad. I have enjoyed being an administrator but am looking forward to getting back into the classroom. I love teaching! My experience as an administrator will enable me to embrace the duties in the classroom and be an amazing teacher. I have excellent communication skills and look forward to having my own classroom.
