What I'm looking for

I am looking for a collaborative environment where I can utilize my teaching skills in a new capacity, focusing on training and development.

After eighteen years of teaching in both traditional and virtual classrooms, I am eager to leverage my extensive experience in a new career path. My time as a Math Teacher has equipped me with invaluable skills such as communication, adaptability, and problem-solving, which I believe will make me a significant asset to any team. I have a proven track record of engaging students and fostering a positive learning environment, even in challenging situations.

Throughout my career, I have developed a strong foundation in leadership and collaboration, leading curriculum development and mentoring new teachers. My ability to manage conflict and maintain a calm presence has been essential in supporting students with diverse needs. I am excited to bring my skills in Microsoft Office Suite, Google Suite, and audio-visual technology to a staff position where I can contribute to organizational success.
