Summary
I am an enthusiastic educator with a solid background at the YMCA and student teaching, where I really focus on getting students involved through creative lessons and teamwork. I am skilled at managing classroom behavior and keeping parents informed. I've always tried to customize my teaching to fit what each student needs, ensuring that everyone feels secure and supported. Working with youth is not just a job for me; it is something I genuinely care about, and I think that shows in everything I do in education.
