Summary
Passionate and dedicated educational professional with over 17 years of experience in school settings, including a strong background as a Clinic Aide. After spending several years supporting student health and well-being in a clinic environment, I am eager to return to the classroom and resume my teaching career, where I can directly impact students' academic growth and development. My diverse experience includes nearly five years of teaching English and Science to 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students in Kuwait, coupled with two years as a Special education Secretary, where I supported students with diverse learning needs and collaborated with educators, staff, and families.
Throughout my career, I have been inspired by the resilience and potential of students, and my experience in healthcare has further fueled my desire to support their holistic development. I believe that my combined experience in education and healthcare will allow me to be a more well-rounded and empathetic teacher. I'm excited to bring a deeper understanding of student well-being into the classroom and create a space where students are supported in every aspect of their development.
