OBJECTIVE:
As an education professional, I am currently searching for a Biology and General Science teaching position that will best utilize my assets by generating positive learning environments with a school community,and by collaborating with my students and colleagues to grow and develop through innovation, dedication, and inquiry.
SUMMARY:
I developed an appreciation for education in high school where my involvement with positive role models and mentors shaped and developed my diligent, responsible, and enthusiastic passion to work with others. These relationships also affected my interpersonal and educational experiences, and established my commitment to becoming a lifelong learner. I am a dedicated individual that has gained life experience and I have utilized my dynamic personality to develop a small construction business and generate a career as a monument setting specialist. In 2007, I realized that my love for Biology and true passions and talents would be best utilized as an educator, coach, and mentor. As an adult learner, I successfully completed my degree in secondary education with an emphasis in Biological Sciences. I am now seeking a position which will utilize my assets and allow me to develop safe, positive learning environments within the classroom and through extracurricular activities. I am committed to liberal learning, collaborative decision making, and inclusion of all of my students, and I intend to build relationships based on trust honesty, and integrity
