Summary

Dedicated and compassionate educator with a strong foundation in teaching and a renewed passion for fostering student growth. After 17 enriching years raising a family and actively volunteering in school classrooms, I am excited to return to the teaching profession with fresh perspective, resilience, and a deep understanding of child development. Throughout my time away from full-time teaching, I remained closely connected to the educational environment—supporting teachers, organizing classroom activities, and contributing to student learning in a hands-on capacity. I bring strong communication skills, classroom management experience, and a collaborative spirit, along with a commitment to creating a supportive, inclusive, and engaging learning environment.
