What I'm looking for
I am a passionate mathematics educator with a Master of Arts in Mathematics Education from the University of Maryland Baltimore County, where I graduated with a perfect GPA of 4.00.

My commitment to fostering a positive learning environment has always been at the forefront of my teaching philosophy.
Throughout my career, I have actively engaged in professional development, attending numerous conferences and workshops to enhance my teaching strategies and content knowledge.

I believe in creating an inclusive classroom where every student feels valued and motivated to learn.
