What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values innovative teaching methods and supports professional growth.

With seven years of teaching experience across eight different subjects and all grade levels, I have developed a strong skill set in character development and differentiating instruction for unique learning styles. My proficiency with technology allows me to effectively teach online and create engaging educational websites.

I am a resilient and humble life-long learner, constantly seeking new material to enhance my teaching practices. My commitment to professional development is evident through the completion of over 360 hours in various pedagogies and best practices. I take pride in my ability to connect with students and foster a positive learning environment.
