Chauvin

Summary

I am a mother of three children, who attends Grand Canyon University online for a Bachelor of Arts in Secondary Education in English. Once the semester is over, I am switching my major to a Bachelor of Science in Elementary and Special Education. Also, I have a certification in Financial Management and Accounting from Martinsburg College of WV. Not only am I a dedicated and passionate educator, but I am also reliable and knowledgeable. I adapt quickly in classroom settings to create problem-solving experiences and effectively support diverse learning needs, including special needs children, to enhance their educational outcomes. One of my goals as a future certified educator is to help many students learn while also enjoying school.
