Professional Profile
I am a self-directed and enthusiastic bi-lingual educator who holds a passion and commitment for student development and life-long learning. I am skilled in the design and delivery of challenging, enriching, innovative, and student-centered curriculum that not only addresses diverse student interests, but also the academic needs of students. While I have a passion for curriculum and learning, I also possess outstanding communication skills which I use to present information in a variety of ways all while emphasizing relevance of multicultural awareness and student motivation that extends beyond the classroom and into the surrounding world. I am well versed in technology and research and infuse that knowledge into the learning classroom. I am also an active team member who promotes collaborative learning within an active learning environment I strongly believe in the power of staff collaboration and its ability to promote and establish quality relationships with students, parents, and the surrounding community.
