Career Objective
To become an exceptional teacher at an elementary school while being a community role model and guide for our future generation of students, and inspiring today’s youth to be successful individuals.
Philosophy Of Education
I believe that teachers should strive to establish a positive and productive learning environment by engaging with students to help build meaningful relationships. Every student is unique and learns in a different way, therefore it's the teacher's responsibility to meet their needs and make sure they have the tools to be successful learners. I believe that learning is a lifelong process and I want to encourage my students to be as passionate about learning as I am.
