Summary

With over 35 years of experience in secondary education, including the past 6 years in talented learning programs at the university level. I have created a post-secondary teaching environment that prepares young people to become lifelong learners. My commitment to excellence, combined with a technological approach to designing both online and classroom instruction, has inspired many students to pursue their life dreams. Throughout my career, I have successfully collaborated with colleagues and mentored young educators, exploring new ways to make teaching enjoyable and interesting. Additionally, my master's degree in administration and supervision has proven useful in leading committees, teaching, and coordinating co-curricular activities. In December 2018, I obtained a master's degree in pharmaceutical Science with a concentration in forensic science, further enhancing my ability to teach at the university level. As a passionate teacher, I am dedicated to providing exceptional learning opportunities and supporting students' educational endeavors. I am skilled in implementing diverse instruction methods to cultivate a fruitful learning environment for all students. Through individual guidance and empathetic mentorship, I strive to positively motivate each student I encounter.
