Summary
Welcome to my corner of the professional world! I'm an enthusiastic and adaptable individual with a passion for education, bringing a diverse background that weaves through student teaching, classroom assistance, and 6th-grade English instruction.
Beyond the traditional teaching path, I've sharpened my quick thinking and adaptability through roles in bartending, serving, and sales. These experiences not only added a dash of flexibility to my skill set but also equipped me with the versatility to thrive in fast-paced, ever-changing environments.
In the classroom, I'm not just about textbooks and lectures; I believe in a dynamic approach that sparks self-driven progress and prioritizes social-emotional learning. My goal is to inspire a genuine love for learning while creating an environment that nurtures all-around personal growth.
So, join me on this journey where passion meets intelligence, and education becomes an exhilarating adventure. Let's make the learning experience as vibrant and unique as it should be.
