Summary
I am eager to teach a diverse population within an urban environment. I’m an organized professional with six years of experience ready to implement my knowledge and continue to both learn and grow as an educator. As a younger teacher, I would love to utilize my lively and energetic attitude in teaching students with great enthusiasm. I would like to obtain a position as an elementary or early childhood teacher that will utilize my dedication to children’s educational needs and development.
