Teaching Profile
Skilled and accomplished educator, responsible for the academic and potential career advancement of more than 150 individuals
over a six-year period. Excels in ability to create positive rapport with students in order to provide them with a personalized
learning approach, based on knowledge and understanding of each student. My daily goal is to create lessons that allow students
to learn, but more than that, to be inspired. My classroom is one where students will be involved, challenged, understood and
cared for. I look forward to being that teacher in a school district of your caliber.
