Summary

Teachers should be responsible, enthusiastic, fair, flexible, skilled leaders, passionate about their students, and willing lifelong learners. I work hard to develop and maintain these qualities, along with unfailing professionalism, both in and outside of the classroom. For me, teaching is not simply just an experience or a job, but rather a calling I’ve felt since my first position in education. My goal is to guide all my students to a positive and eventful learning experience, and I have been honing these skills for the past few years.
