Summary
I discovered my passion for intervention education as a high school student where I was frequently asked to assist students with developmental challenges. My passion for the field grew in college while pursuing my degree. I am very organized, work well in both a team and individual settings, am motivated to expand my learning and skill set, and compassionate. I believe in strong classroom management and finding creative ways to help students excel.
