Summary
I have experience as an assistant teacher with several years of experience and documented skills in classroom management and assignment creation. I am incredibly friendly and an energetic professional and have been commended for adapting teaching methods and materials to meet students' varying needs and interests. I have the heart to explore and learn how to reach to individual students to encourage them to apply themselves to the fullest. I am passionate about going above and beyond to nurture and encourage children.
The Gap in my resume only reflects time off managing my own family, as I have two children. In this time I’ve gained a new life perspective and the notion of becoming a true role model. Parenting has set me apart from being just a teacher but an overall more compassionate leader and a more intentional person. I am very eager to come back to the workforce and expand who I am for the little ones who look up to me.
