Summary
The objective for myself is to expand my knowledge in Educational Administration. As a fifth grade science teacher, I am no longer fulfilled with the limited amount of people I serve in education. A passion of mine is to lead and share this work with more educators as well as students. The overall goal is to teach, lead and motivate others on this journey. This goal will be difficult and rewarding for myself, family and friends.
