Summary
I am a passionate educator, and I aspire to create a supportive and engaging learning environment for all students. I believe that it is very important to build relationships with students. As well as promote creativity, and culturally responsive teaching to inspire every child to reach their fullest potential. With hands on experience in developing lesson plans throughout many years and different jobs I strive to make each student feel seen and valued. My goal is to not only help students achieve academic success but also to empower them with the confidence and skills they need for life beyond the classroom. Looking forward to collaborating with students, families, and fellow educators to create a positive and inclusive school community.
