Summary
I am seeking a position with a school district that loves to serve. I'm looking for a location where I can capitalize on my organizational and time management skills. As a highly qualified teacher in the areas of science and SPED, I generate student enthusiasm for learning through individual connections and motivators. I empower my kids through interactive learning, offering fun and educational lessons and exciting science demonstrations. Along with these skills, I analyzed assessment data with fellow educators to better inform our planning.
