What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values creativity in teaching and offers opportunities for professional growth.

I am an experienced English teacher with over seven years of dedication to fostering a supportive and inclusive classroom environment. My journey has been marked by my commitment to developing dynamic lesson plans that engage students and enhance their learning experiences. I have provided individualized support to students, helping them improve their English language skills while organizing assessments to track their progress and adapt my teaching methods accordingly.

In addition to my role as an English teacher, I have also served as a Spanish lecturer, where I developed engaging lesson plans to enhance students' comprehension and expression in Spanish. My Master's in Puerto Rican and Caribbean Literature has honed my analytical skills, which, combined with my proficiency in Microsoft Office, public speaking, and data analysis, are transferable to new career opportunities. I am eager to apply these skills to contribute to organizational success.
