Summary

A passionate and creative instructor, skilled in fostering child development through play-based learning and meaningful connections. I put an emphasis in motivating children to explore their creativity and develop essential physical and social skills in a nurturing environment. My aspiration is to get a master’s degree in early childhood education to then grow my experience in school settings. Through patience and empathy, I hope to build safe spaces in which children can embrace their individuality, and to motivate my peers in building meaningful connections.
