Summary

I view myself foremost as an advocate for individuality, and self-conception. I believe childhood is the very start of one’s sense of self and elementary school is the first place that young minds are challenged. My favorite aspect of my career is being able to embrace the ability to help students discover their skills, strengths, and interests, and foster their confidence in themselves.
