Summary
I am a passionate teaching professional with four years of experience in the elementary school setting. I have worked in a variety of roles including teaching library and discovery classes, working with small groups as a math and reading interventionist, and working as a Kindergarten teacher. My previous career as an accountant adds another dimension to my teaching. I can draw on real world examples for my students and utilize my organization and technology skills as an educator. I went back to school because my passion is teaching. After four years, I am excited to go to work everyday and be with my students. My goal is to be an elementary classroom teacher where I can make a positive impact on my students' lives, cultivate a love for learning, and help each student establish a foundation for academic success.
