Objective
To obtain a teaching position at a school with a team oriented environment in which knowledge is shared
among staff members to create a meaningful and authentic learning experience for all students.

Teaching Philosophy

I believe each and every student can learn when they are accepted for who they are as individuals, and where
they are on their educational journey. The foundation of a safe and caring learning environment, in which
students can grow, begins with developing meaningful relationships between the teacher and students.
