Summary
I am a passionate childhood education student with experience working alongside children in a classroom setting. I support student growth by encouraging their voices and confidence to make a positive impact in their communities and themselves. I prioritize building strong relationships with students, staff, and parents through effective communication. I have a strong ability to recognize that every child learns differently, and I’m dedicated to meeting each student where they are with patience, flexibility, and individualized support. I strive to create a classroom environment that encourages learning, supports each student’s unique path to success, and promotes growth, curiosity, and respect.
