PROFILE
A dedicated and enthusiastic teacher candidate, I am passionate about fostering the academic growth
and well-being of all students. My diverse experiences in both middle and high school classrooms
have allowed me to develop my strengths in teacher collaboration and classroom management. I
strive to create a welcoming and supportive environment for all students, particularly English
language learners and those with special needs. Skilled in multimedia, I work to develop creative
and standards-based lessons that engage and inspire students.
