Summary
I am a passionate teacher that till this day, after 13 years, finds it highly rewarding to have the ability to make a huge and positive impact in students' academic, social and emotional growth. However, I would like to have the opportunity to hold a position in which I can positively impact students at a greater scale whether it be directly or indirectly. I am ready to hold higher level responsibilities and I can assure you that I will always put forth my absolute best. I am dedicated to support any required personnel and or students to achieve a common goal, preparing our students to be college and career ready.
