Summary
Dynamic educator with a proven track record at Sturgeon Public Schools, adept in Math, Language Arts, and Science. Excelled in creating inclusive, technology-infused learning environments and fostering collaborative learning. Achievements include pioneering cross-curricular projects and significantly enhancing student engagement through inquiry-based learning and motivational techniques. From the end of the school year in 2023 I had an opportunity to be a partner in Crumbl Cookies. I have helped our store to open and grow, have an incredible crew, and have a profound passion for teaching that I would like to continue to foster. I have a very flexible schedule for substitute teaching.
