Summary
I believe I have that natural calling to teaching. My mother was a teacher at Wanda Gray for 27 yeas so I have grown up seeing the teacher side of education for a long time. I always thought I would not go into teaching because I was not very good at school growing up. Once I realized that was because I learn different it really inspired me to take my own experience and knowledge to help future students who don't just learn te traditional way.
Dedicated and knowledgeable instructor with strong understanding of teaching ELA, math, science and reading. Committed to enhancing overall student success by maintaining productive relationships with students and parents and updating educational protocols.
