I have always been passionate about reading, writing, and social studies. It has always been my goal to motivate students to find their passion, encourage and guide struggling students, and make sure I put relationships first in order to help my students become successful. I also believe that being part of a team is essential to foster not only my learning and help guide me as a teacher, but my students' learning as well. I love to work with like-minded individuals who not only love our students, but work together to foster a positive environment for them.
