Summary
For the past 8 years, I have worked with children in various settings, including nannying, tutoring, working as an SNA, working in after-school care settings, and working as a supply teacher and classroom teacher in mainstream and special education. My diverse experience has allowed me to understand my students outside of the class setting and how that can impact their learning. It has also taught me to be flexible and face any challenge head-on. I thrive in the classroom setting where I am able to build rapport with my students and track their progress and achievements over time. I love collaborating with my colleagues and believe it makes me a better teacher.
