Summary

I am an energetic teacher who is excited to educate students on academic curriculum and real world experiences. I enjoy being creative in the classroom and teaching through crafts, songs, hands-on activities, and real world examples that students can apply to their lives. I am a compassionate teacher who loves children and thrives on seeing them learn and grow. I am dedicated to creating a safe classroom environment for all students to feel loved, appreciated, and free to learn. I am excited to teach in the Houston County School System and educate young learners.
