I have a degree in Psychology and Elementary Education from the State

University of New York at Potsdam. I recently graduated from Pepperdine

University with a M.A. in Learning Technologies. Action Research was one

focus of the program. Throughout the program I conducted an Action

Research Project titled First Kindness; Creating a Kind Classroom to

Promote a Positive Learning Environment. This past year I volunteered in a

first grade classroom located in Santa Monica. I also tutor students

learning English.

I have been teaching for the past seven years. I am a very organized,

professional, friendly, hard-working, loyal, educated person that has the

ability and love of multi-tasking and the love of learning. I like to keep

myself busy and believe in working smarter, not harder. I believe that

there are always ways to improve.
