Summary

Creative worker seeking to make changes in the field of history education and/or special education. I have strong experience in both, where I have developed strong interpersonal and teaching skills. I intend to use these skills to make a difference in any school system, giving everything I can to bring the program I am apart of to the next level. Furthermore, I want to be part of strengthening the overall community and take part in a number of extra curricular activates/school clubs. Clubs of interest would pertain to films/filmmaking, music ensembles/productions, coaching baseball, etc.
