Summary

I am a dependable, hardworking, and passionate educator striving for youth to grow not only academically, but also emotionally. 6 years of experience supervising youth in many different settings. In 2016 I had my first peer tutoring experience, which gave me my love for education. I then went on to cadet teaching, babysitting, and providing sports lessons to youth. In 2020 I began working as a youth development specialist, which has grown me as an educator immensely. College brought many opportunities to work with students in the classroom through practicum experiences, along with student teaching. I am dedicated to providing students the absolute best learning experience through a creative and positive learning environment.
