Professional Profile
I have had the joyous opportunity to instruct youth of all stages of development for more than fifteen years. During this time; I have gained a wealth of knowledge in the arena of teaching. I also, have been afforded the privilege to form priceless relationships with administrators/directors, staff, students and parents. Throughout, this period, I provided instruction spanning a wide range of subject areas; encountered a plethora of unique, talented, extraordinary students whose lives I have positively impacted and whom have equally affected my own favorably.
My overall objective is to obtain a position that will allow me to utilize and maximize my educational background, professional knowledge, while additionally offering a variety of opportunities for occupational and intellectual growth. That also recognizes ingenuity, welcomes diversity, with the ability to appreciate and employ the concept of teamwork while maintaining a platform for the expression of the individual within its framework.
