Summary
I am an enthusiastic teacher with several years of experience instructing students with a wide range of learning abilities. I am committed to creating motivational and collaborative learning environments that encourage social and emotional growth. I learned to become strategic in blending organizational skills through my educational background. I have always worked well with children, parents, colleagues, and supervisors. Taking care of others, whether that's children, adults, or animals, has been my passion for as long as I can remember, even if it means stepping out of my comfort zone to ensure I provide care to the best of my ability.
