I am a lifelong learner with an enthusiastic approach to helping others become passionate about their own expanding knowledge. Through my experiences in the school system I have a deeper understanding for the curriculum and standards. I enjoy helping my students grow and unlock their potential. Within my role in education I gained much insight, including the importance of using differentiation and accommodations to enhance learning. I also believe it is beneficial to incorporate multiple learning styles into lessons to strengthen the students’ ability to achieve academic success.
