Professional Profile
I am currently a license to masters of education student with over 6 years of experience
working directly with students in various capacities; most recently as a math interventionist. I
am an enthusiastic learner who engages students through authentic examples and
explanations to help them understand explicit and abstract content. I strive to be a valued
contributor to a positive culture with my students, peers, and supervisors. I am patient when
working with students and peers to make sure everyone feel as if their ideas, frustrations
and accomplishments are important and valued. I want to share my love of learning with my
students each day as I encourage them to grow and develop academically, socially, and
emotionally.
