Summary

Experienced and passionate teacher with a love for educating today´s youth, I am adept in creating a comprehensive, inclusive and versatile curriculum that meets educational requirements and standards. As an able facilitator of powerful learning experiences, I believe in allowing students to dictate certain lessons and lead with curiosity. My work experiences have allowed me to become familiar with a wide range of teaching strategies aimed at supporting students academically, emotionally, and socially, thus offering them a well-rounded learning experience.
