Summary

I am a dedicated and hardworking individual who believes that hard work is a blessing. Providing for my family is my highest priority, and I approach this responsibility with integrity, purpose, and gratitude.

As a passionate per diem teacher’s aide, I find deep fulfillment in supporting children with disabilities. I truly believe I was called to advocate for and uplift those who cannot always speak or stand up for themselves. I have a natural ability to connect with children, especially during times of challenge, and I strive to be a calm, compassionate, and encouraging presence in their lives.

Outside the classroom, I remain committed to serving others. I actively volunteer in my community and proudly serve as an international chaplain—roles through which I offer guidance, comfort, and hope to those in need.

Currently, I am pursuing a degree in education with the goal of becoming a full-time teacher. I believe this is my true calling: to inspire, motivate, and empower children through learning. My mission is to not only help students grow academically but also support them emotionally and socially, equipping them with the confidence and resilience they need to thrive.
