Summary

I am a dedicated and passionate educator with over seven years of teaching experience, committed to creating a student-centered learning environment. My classroom is a welcoming space where students feel comfortable and supported, fostering a sense of belonging and encouraging active participation.

I believe in the power of learning through play and integrate art-based projects and technology-infused activities into my lessons. I prioritize my students' input, ensuring that their voices are heard and their interests shape our learning experiences. I continually seek innovative methods to engage my students, drawing inspiration from their feedback to enhance my teaching practices. My goal is to create a dynamic and inclusive classroom environment where every student feels valued and empowered to learn.

Foundation- Each One Helps a Hand

I founded the Each One Help One Foundation during the COVID-19 pandemic to support students in Jamaica who were unable to attend school due to closures and lacked the necessary technology for online learning. Recognizing the urgent need for educational support, I took several students under my wing, offering both in-person and online classes. Many students reached out for help as they struggled with assignments that lacked proper explanation. Through the foundation, I provided personalized instruction and guidance, ensuring these students could continue their education despite the challenging circumstances.
