Summary

Dynamic educator with experience at High School STEAM, fostering student engagement through culturally rich program. I effectively support diverse learning needs and enhance student outcomes. Passionate about promoting indigenous culture. Utilize hands on projects to motivate students in their educational journey.

One thing that makes me stick out is I try to treat the kid as I would my own. They are completely different from each other. I give value to whatever may be blocking them from achieving their goal, while being a positive motivator in finding a path to being triumphant. I've coached two middle school girls basketball teams at Angoon and Dzantikiheeni.

WE DON'T QUIT!!!!!!!!!!!
