Summary
Accomplished educator with over 19 years of experience, working with both general and special education students in a variety of grade levels where I honed my expertise in relationship building and supervision. I am dedicated and passionate about the future of education and preparing students as future leaders in the education field. I strongly believe in preparing students to be confident in teaching academics while fostering an environment where life and behavioral skills are also taught. Future educators need to be prepared to set boundaries to prevent burnout while working in one of the most rewarding careers that allows you to shape the minds of future leaders.
