Professional Summary:

My varied and diverse educational and International teaching experiences increase the academic and language achievement of all students. My endorsement in Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Populations helps me know how to further advance learning English for this special population as well as my endorsement and experience teaching Reading. I awaken the intelligence of students by being a creative problem solver using a flexible approach, based on knowledge and research to reach students on varying diverse levels. I often teach by relating the classroom content to the realities of the world by using solid methods of goal planning, evaluative, reflective approaches with data analyzes for the needs of a particular school as well as individual needs.
