About MeName:Location: Norwood, Ohio, United States
I am an enthusuastic and dedicated teacher. While teaching last year, I put everything that I learned at UC from experienced Professors, University Supervisors, and Mentor Teachers into practice. Two years of in-the-classroom experience is paying off. I enjoyed being an undergraduate because I enjoy learning! I plan to continue my education by pursuing my master s degree in literacy. I am also learning new teaching ideas from other, more experienced educators. I enjoy learning new and innovative teaching strategies from other outstanding teachers.
Outside of teaching, I love sports! I love playing, watching and coaching sports. I helped coach a little league baseball team, a beginning volleyball team and a first year flag-football team. As a coach, it was not only my responsibility to teach the game, but also how to be a team player and demonstrate good sportsmanship.
Whether it is in the classroom or out on the field, I love doing anything that includes working with children and helping them grow as individuals. I consider myself a life-long learner, and hope that I can influence the children I work with to become life-long learners, as well.
